跑

pǎo

to run

to run away; to escape; to run around (on errands etc); (of a gas or liquid) to leak or evaporate; (verb complement) away; off

foot (足) + wrap (包) = to run

足 (foot) anchors the meaning: running is fundamentally a foot action. 包 mainly contributes the pǎo sound and doesn't add semantic weight here.

足+包→跑
