Etymology
The exact historical development of 奲 is uncertain. It visually combines 奢 and 單, but the original semantic and phonetic roles are unclear.
Meaning mnemonic

Reading mnemonic
For シャ, picture a shah (a king) admiring a single extravagant treasure: shah -> シャ, and the treasure is so grand it is the only one.
