运

yùn

to move

to transport; to use; to apply; fortune; luck; fate

movement (辶) + cloud sound (云) = fortune flowing along a path

The movement radical (辶) carries the core idea: things in motion — goods, people, fortune — all flowing along a path. 云 mainly provides the yùn sound; the semantic weight rests with the road beneath.
