residence, mansion
邸 centers on a large, impressive dwelling: a residence or mansion, often implying status or official function.
邸 combines 氐 (a phonetic element suggesting 'foundation' or 'base') with ⻏ (village/city), originally referring to a residence or lodging place for officials in a city.
The left side 氐 looks like a foundation or base, and the right side ⻏ is a city wall. Picture a grand mansion built on a solid foundation within the city walls.
For テイ, imagine a stately mansion where the owner offers you a cup of tea: tea -> テイ, and you enjoy it in the elegant residence.
