Etymology
陪 combines ⻖ (mound, hill) with 咅, which likely contributes the sound. The mound radical may suggest a secondary or supporting position, fitting the idea of accompanying or attending.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side ⻖ looks like a hill or mound, and the right side 咅 suggests a person standing beside it. Picture someone humbly standing by a hill, ready to follow and attend to a superior.
Reading mnemonic
For バイ, imagine a loyal attendant saying 'bye' as they follow their master: bye -> バイ, and they accompany them with obeisance.
