roundabout way
迂 centers on taking a path that is not direct: a roundabout way, a detour, or an indirect approach.
迂 combines 辶 (movement) with 于, which likely contributes the sound. The idea of indirect or roundabout movement is expressed by the movement radical paired with a phonetic component.
The movement radical 辶 wraps around 于, like a path that curves around an obstacle instead of going straight. Picture a road sign showing a detour arrow bending around a barrier.
For ウ, imagine taking a roundabout route through a U-shaped valley: the U shape cues ウ while the path winds indirectly.
