tomboy, chivalry
侠 centers on a spirited, chivalrous person who acts with bold independence—a tomboy or a gallant figure who stands up for others.
侠 combines 亻 (person) with 夹, which likely contributes the sound and suggests a person who is pressed between or stands between others—a chivalrous intermediary. The exact historical development is uncertain.
A person 亻 who carries a big 夹 (like a clamp or frame) on their shoulder, striding confidently like a chivalrous tomboy ready to help.
For キョウ, imagine a chivalrous tomboy in Kyoto (京都, きょうと) defending the weak: Kyoto -> キョウ, and she embodies the spirit of 侠.
