Vigorous stride (奮迅: the upper character is with the fanqie of 分 and 問. Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: "奮 means to move vigorously." The Guangya says: "To shake; to unfold." Guo's commentary on the Erya states: "Things possessing strength often rouse themselves vigorously (奮迅), hence the name." The Shuowen says: "翬; 翬 means to fly. Composed of 奞 over 田." 奞 has the sound with the fanqie of 戍 and 惟. 奞 refers to a bird spreading its feathers to rouse itself, which is why the character 奮 is composed with 奞).
