king, rule, magnate
王 centers on supreme authority: a king who rules, or a powerful magnate. The idea of rule extends naturally from the central figure of a monarch.
王 is a pictograph of a ceremonial axe or a symbol of authority, representing a king. The three horizontal lines connected by a vertical stroke suggest the ruler who connects heaven, earth, and humanity.
The three horizontal lines represent heaven, humanity, and earth, all bound together by the vertical stroke of the king who rules over them.
For オウ, imagine a king wearing a golden crown and saying 'Oh!' with authority: Oh -> オウ, the sound of royal presence.
