遵

It is a phono-semantic compound, consisting of:

辵 (chwak/착, “to walk slowly, to go”) as the semantic element;

尊 (jon, “to honor, high”) as the phonetic element.

Still actively used in formal/legal contexts (e.g., 준수하다 “to comply with”).

Connotations are formal, relating to rules, laws, or principles rather than casual “following.”

Common compounds:

준수 (遵守) – compliance, observance, keeping the law;

준행 (遵行) – carrying out, following, practicing;

준법 (遵法) – law-abiding, observance of the law;

준용 (遵用) – application or following of rules (esp. legal contexts).
