itchy
痒 centers on the sensation of itchiness, often associated with skin irritation or a desire to scratch.
痒 combines 疒 (sickness) with 羊, which likely contributes the sound. The character expresses the idea of an itchy, irritating condition.
The sickness enclosure 疒 wraps around a sheep 羊. Imagine a sheep with a skin condition, constantly scratching because it feels itchy.
For ヨウ, picture a sheep (羊, よう) inside the sickness enclosure, and its constant scratching makes you say 'Yo, you need to stop itching!' The sheep's reading よう cues ヨウ.
