Etymology
逋 combines the movement radical 辶 with 甫, which likely contributes the sound. The exact historical development is uncertain.

The movement radical 辶 suggests going away, and 甫 looks like a person hastily packing. Together they show someone fleeing.
Reading mnemonic
For ホ, imagine a fleeing person shouting 'Ho!' as they dash away: Ho -> ホ, and the movement radical shows them escaping.
