Etymology
艇 combines 舟 (boat) with 廷, which likely contributes the sound テイ. The character originally referred to a small, light boat.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side 舟 is a boat, and the right side 廷 looks like a person standing in a small craft. Picture a single person rowing a tiny boat.
Reading mnemonic
For テイ, imagine a small boat shaped like the letter T, floating on a calm lake: T -> テイ, and the boat is a tiny rowboat.
