Shuowen

顺: The character combines the radical 页 (representing the head) with 川 (representing a river), picturing a head moving in harmony with the river's flow. Its original meaning is to follow or go along with the current, hence to obey or comply. This structure symbolizes order and alignment, as if the head is in sync with the water's path, expressing the idea of顺从 (submission to order).
