Etymology
述 combines 辶 (movement) with 术, which likely contributes the sound and relates to following a path or technique, suggesting the idea of conveying something along a path of words.
Meaning mnemonic
The movement radical 辶 wraps around 术, like words traveling along a path. Picture someone moving their mouth to state and relate ideas.
Reading mnemonic
For ジュツ, imagine a jujitsu master stating techniques: jujitsu -> ジュツ, and the master relates each move clearly.
