run, bustle
奔 centers on rapid, energetic movement: running or bustling with purpose. The idea is of dashing forward or hurrying about in a lively way.
奔 combines 大 (person with outstretched arms) with 卉 (three plants), suggesting a person running swiftly through vegetation. The modern form retains the sense of energetic movement.
A person with outstretched arms (大) dashes through a field of plants (卉), running and bustling with energy.
For ホン, imagine a runner dashing home: home -> ホン, and the person runs swiftly toward it.
