crawl, creep, grovel, trail (vines)
這 centers on slow, low movement along a surface: crawling, creeping, groveling, or the way vines trail along the ground.
這 combines 辶 (movement) with 言 (words), but the historical reason for this combination is uncertain. The modern meaning of crawling or creeping may not directly follow from the visible components.
The movement radical 辶 wraps around 言, like words creeping slowly along a path. Imagine a message crawling forward inch by inch.
For シャ, picture a shy person crawling away from a crowd: shy -> シャ, and they creep along the ground to escape.
