路

It is a phono-semantic compound, consisting of:

足 (jok, “foot”) as the semantic element;

各 (gak, “each”) as the phonetic element.

This is considered one of the less obvious examples of a phono-semantic compound. In ancient forms, variants appear with 彳 (double person radical, “step”) or 辵 (movement radical) instead of 足.

Common compounds:

도로 (道路) – road, street

진로 (進路) – course, career path

경로 (經路) – route, passage

항로 (航路) – sea route, navigation route

노선 (路線) – route, line (esp. bus, subway, railway)
