访

fǎng

(bound form) to seek by inquiry

(bound form) to visit; to call on

speech (讠) + [sound: fāng] (方) = visit and inquire

The speech radical carries the meaning: visiting someone means seeking them out through words and inquiry. 方 mainly gives the sound fāng/fǎng and does not contribute semantically.
