Etymology
晻 combines 日 (sun) with 奄, which likely contributes the sound. The exact historical development is uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The sun 日 is covered by 奄, suggesting darkness or dimness. Picture the sun being obscured, leaving everything in shadow.
Reading mnemonic
For アン, imagine an unlit room where the sun is blocked: unlit -> アン, and the darkness matches the obscured sun in 晻.
