趋

qū

to hasten

to hurry; to walk fast; to approach; to tend towards; to converge

walk (走) + sound (刍) = hasten forward

走 captures the idea of moving on foot, anchoring the character firmly in the domain of walking and motion. 刍 mainly contributes the sound qū; the walking radical carries the meaning of hurried forward movement.
