Etymology
輻 combines 車 (vehicle, wheel) with 畐, which likely contributes the sound フク and may relate to fullness or spreading, suggesting spokes radiating from a hub.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side 車 is a wheel, and the right side 畐 looks like a container with lines spreading out. Picture a wheel with spokes radiating from the center like lines from a full container.
Reading mnemonic
For フク, imagine a wheel with spokes that look like the strokes of 福 (ふく, fortune) radiating outward: 福 -> フク, and the spokes bring good fortune to the wheel.
