dormitory, hostel, villa, tea pavillion
寮 centers on a building where people stay temporarily or for a specific purpose: a dormitory, hostel, villa, or tea pavilion. The common thread is a dedicated structure for lodging or leisure.
寮 combines 宀 (roof, building) with 尞, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to burning or light, but the exact historical development is uncertain.
Under a roof 宀, the lower part 尞 looks like a complex structure with small rooms (小) and a central hall (日). Imagine a dormitory building with many small rooms for students.
For リョウ, picture a row of dormitory rooms: row -> リョウ, and each room is a small living space under one roof.
