Etymology

逮 combines 辶 (movement) with 隶, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of reaching or catching. The exact historical development of 隶 is uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

The movement radical 辶 wraps around 隶, like a pursuer closing in on a target. Picture a chase where the path leads to an arrest.

Reading mnemonic

For タイ, imagine a police officer tying up a suspect they just apprehended: tie -> タイ, and the chase ends with the suspect in custody.
