Etymology

漿 combines 將 (general, leader) with 水 (water), suggesting a prepared or mixed liquid. The exact historical role of 將 is uncertain; it may have contributed sound or the idea of something being processed.

Reading mnemonic

For ショウ, imagine a general showing off his special drink: show -> ショウ, and the general proudly displays the thick liquid.
