Etymology

尿 combines 尸 (a body or corpse) with 水 (water), suggesting bodily water or liquid waste. The exact historical development is uncertain, but the component combination clearly points to urine.

Meaning mnemonic

Under the body (尸), water (水) is released: that's urine.

Reading mnemonic

For ニョウ, imagine a new (ニュー) baby needing a diaper change: new -> ニュー, which sounds like ニョウ, and the diaper is full of urine.
