Etymology
閲 combines 門 (gate) with 兑, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of examining or passing through. The character suggests inspecting something at a gate or checkpoint.
Meaning mnemonic
Picture a gate 門 with a person inside 兑 carefully reviewing papers before allowing entry. The gate represents the checkpoint where inspection happens.
Reading mnemonic
For エツ, imagine an editor reviewing a manuscript at the gate: editor -> エツ, and the editor's inspection ensures everything is correct.
