The Chinese word 迅速 (sùxùn) means "fast" or "quick". It is composed of two characters: 速 (sù), which means "fast", and 迅 (xùn), which means "quick". The character 速 is composed of two parts: the radical 辶 (chuò), which indicates movement, and the character 足 (zú), which means "foot". The character 迅 is composed of two parts: the radical 雨 (yǔ), which indicates rain, and the character 心 (xīn), which means "heart". The combination of these two characters suggests the idea of something moving quickly, like a rainstorm.
