Etymology

瀇 combines 氵 (water) with 廣, which likely contributes the sound. The exact historical development is uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

The water radical 氵 beside 廣 suggests something related to water, but the exact meaning is obscure. Imagine a vast, expansive body of water hinted at by the broad shape of 廣.

Reading mnemonic

For オウ, picture an old man saying 'Oh!' as he gazes at the wide water: Oh -> オウ.
