< Grade 4 Lesson
選 - Elect
To Elect someone, you go down the road to vote, and the right-hand part '巽' literally bundles Self (己) with Together (共), so each person chooses alone yet the result belongs to all. Remember this with Japanese 'senkyo' using 選 and the 辶 hint that you walk to make the choice.
