Definition
骛 is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'to gallop' or 'to go after eagerly'. It never appears alone — you'll find it in classical compounds and chengyu like 好高骛远 ('to reach for what is beyond one's grasp') and 驰骛 ('to gallop, often figuratively'). Note the similar character 鹜 (duck) in 趋之若鹜 — they are not the same.
b.f.
