Etymology
歮 is a rare character formed by tripling the 止 component. Its exact historical origin and original meaning are uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
Three 止 (stop) components stacked together suggest something like 'repeated stopping' or 'stagnation', but the actual meaning is unclear.
Reading mnemonic
For シュウ, imagine a crowd of people all stopping at once, making a 'shoo' sound as they halt: shoo -> シュウ, and the triple 止 reinforces the idea of stopping.
