Etymology

酇 combines 贊 (likely contributing sound and the idea of gathering or assisting) with ⻏ (a mound or settlement), suggesting a place where people are collected or administered.

Meaning mnemonic

The left side 贊 suggests gathering or supporting, and the right side ⻏ is a settlement. Picture a village where people are collected together for a small local administration.

Reading mnemonic

For サン, imagine a small administrative office under the sun: sun -> サン, and the sun shines on the collected village.
