Etymology

醎 is a rare character combining 酉 (wine vessel) and 咸 (a phonetic component). The exact historical development is uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

The left side 酉 suggests a wine jar, and the right side 咸 looks like a halberd. Imagine a jar of salty brine used to preserve food, but the meaning is uncertain.

Reading mnemonic

For カン, picture a can of salty brine: can -> カン, and the jar 酉 holds the salty liquid.
