Etymology
摛 combines 扌 (hand) with 离, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to spreading or separating. The exact historical development is uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The hand radical 扌 beside 离 suggests a hand spreading something outward, like scattering seeds or news.
Reading mnemonic
For チ, imagine a hand spreading cheese across a cracker: cheese -> チ, and the hand spreads it evenly.
