The straight wood in the wheel that goes up to the hub and down into the rim. All spokes converge at the hub. Therefore describing people gathering is called 輻輳 (converging). | Interchangeable with 輹. "Book of Changes" says "The carriage loses its 輻. Husband and wife glare at each other." 輹 is sometimes mistakenly written as 輻. Therefore today, the separation of husband and wife is also called 脫輻 (losing spokes).
