brew, cause
醸 centers on a gradual, transformative process: brewing alcohol, or metaphorically causing a situation or atmosphere to develop over time.
醸 combines 酉 (a wine jar or alcohol-related meaning) with 㐮, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of assisting or nurturing, together suggesting the process of brewing.
The left side 酉 is a sake jar, and the right side 㐮 looks like a complex setup of tools and ingredients. Picture a brewer carefully combining everything in the jar to brew sake.
For ジョウ, imagine a brewer named Joe who is famous for his brewing skills: Joe -> ジョウ, and his sake jar 酉 is always bubbling.
