verb

to climb over (a wall); to scale; to pass through by climbing

archaic

Classical/literary usage. Specifically refers to the physical act of climbing over a barrier or wall. Often appears in the compound 穿踰 (to pass through by climbing over) or 踰墙 (to climb over a wall). In modern Mandarin, the simplified form 逾 is more commonly used for the sense of 'exceed', while 踰 specifically retains the physical climbing meaning in traditional/classical contexts.
