📦🚚 移 = grain 禾 + many 多: lots of rice seedlings shifted to a new field
The kanji 移 joins 禾 (grain plant) and 多 (many): transplanting many seedlings means moving them from one place to another. Sound hook: utsuru is the intransitive twin of utsusu (to move something), so -ru = it moves by itself.
移 — grain 禾 + many 多
Originally a semantic-phonetic compound: 禾 (grain) gives the meaning and 多 (duō) suggested the sound in Old Chinese. It first referred to transplanting rice seedlings, then broadened to mean 'to move, shift, or relocate' in general.
