enemy, foe, opponent
敵 centers on an opposing force in a conflict: an enemy, foe, or opponent in a struggle.
敵 combines 啇 (a phonetic component carrying the sound) with 攵 (a hand holding a stick, suggesting action or force), together expressing the idea of an opponent or enemy.
The left side 啇 looks like a standing figure with a mouth, and the right side 攵 is a hand with a stick. Imagine an enemy figure shouting and brandishing a weapon.
For テキ, picture a tech-savvy enemy hacking your computer: tech -> テキ, and the enemy is attacking digitally.
