seek
覓 centers on actively looking for something: seeking, searching, or trying to find.
覓 combines 見 (see) with a top component that likely represents a hand or claw (爫), suggesting using sight and reach to seek something. The exact historical development is uncertain.
The top 爫 looks like a reaching claw, and the bottom 見 means see. Together they show a creature using its eyes and claws to actively seek something.
For ベキ, imagine a seeker peeking around with a claw: peek -> ベキ, as the clawed creature peeks while seeking.
