Historical forms of the character 退
Western Zhou	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)	Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Bronze inscriptions	Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Ideogrammic compound (會意) : 辶 (“move”) + 夊 (“walk”) + 日 (“sun”) – to walk away from the sun, to retreat.

Current form is essentially 辶 + 艮, where the unrelated 艮 is a simplification of 日 + 夊 – in careful writing the form may be slightly different (notably in the lower right component being separated and convex, rather than attached and concave), reflecting different etymology.

Cognate with 褪 (OC *n̥ʰuːns).
