go upstream, reverse movement

SO
sakanoboru

Left: reverse, opposite 逆 [movement 辶 out 丷 to the 一 mountain 山 and downwards ノ movements are reversed], right: body part 月/肉

If you reverse your body, you go backwards: upstream.

辶	movement	The radical shinnyuu* stands for movement and thus has the same meaning as the very similar radical ennyou 廴*
屰	opposite	chinese only: (see the difference vs. barracks/camp: 屯)
肉	body part, meat	The radical niku* is typically at the left side of a composition and drawn as: 月, which looks equal to: "moon, month 月" but still has the meaning 'body part'.*

Tip: Go to the radicals that are contained in this character and learn all the characters with this radical systematically!
