Send. The character depicts a person (亻) carrying something (the 夂 component representing goods or a package) with the movement radical 辶 indicating the action of sending or delivering. The original meaning is to send, to deliver, or to see someone off on their journey. This character captures the act of dispatching both goods and people, combining the human element with the notion of movement.
