Etymology
瘍 combines the sickness radical 疒 with 昜, which likely provides the sound and may relate to rising or swelling. The exact historical development of the inner component is uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The sickness enclosure 疒 wraps around 昜, which looks like a sun 日 with something spreading outward. Picture a painful swelling under the skin, like a boil rising like the sun.
Reading mnemonic
For ヨウ, imagine a yo-yo swelling up and down on the skin: yo-yo -> ヨウ, and the boil bounces like a yo-yo.
