Mnemonic
传 chuán "to transmit" + 达 dá "to reach": to transmit so it reaches, i.e. to convey, to relay (a message). Same as the Korean word jeon-dal (傳達). Used mainly of passing down a notice, instruction or intent from above (传达指示 to convey instructions). 传 is a polyphone: chuán "to transmit" but zhuàn "biography". It pairs with 传递 (to pass hand to hand): 达 reaching vs 递 handing.
