Etymology

蛁 combines 虫 (insect) with 召, which likely provides the sound. The exact historical development is uncertain.

Since the meaning is uncertain, picture an insect 虫 that responds to a call 召, like a cicada that chirps when summoned.

Reading mnemonic

For チョウ, imagine a distinctive insect named Chou: Chou -> チョウ, and the insect 虫 is called 召.
