(bound form) to practice

surname Xi; to study; habit; custom

a picture of 习 → a fledgling flapping its wings to practice

The original character showed a bird's wings in motion, capturing the idea of repetitive practice. The simplified form has lost much of that visual, but the core meaning — learning through repeated action — comes directly from that image of a young bird learning to fly.
