create, make, structure, physique
造 centers on bringing something into being through deliberate effort: creating, making, or building. The sense of physique or structure extends this to the body as something constructed or shaped.
造 combines 辶 (movement) with 告, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of announcing or making known. Together they suggest creating or constructing something that moves forward or comes into being.
The movement radical 辶 wraps around 告, like a path leading to a new creation. Picture a builder moving along a path while announcing each new structure they make.
For ゾウ, imagine a sculptor creating a bronze statue of an elephant (象, ゾウ). The elephant's shape is being built, and 象 -> ゾウ cues the reading while the sculptor creates.
