Etymology
轄 combines 車 (vehicle, wheel) with 害, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of a wedge or pin that secures a wheel. The control meaning extends from the physical wedge.
Meaning mnemonic
A vehicle 車 needs a wedge 害-like shape to lock its wheels. Picture a metal wedge driven through the axle to control the cart's movement.
Reading mnemonic
For カツ, imagine a wedge that cuts into the axle: cuts -> カツ, and the wedge controls the wheel.
