Etymology

騙 combines 馬 (horse) with 扁, which likely contributes the sound. The connection to horses may come from the idea of riding or controlling a horse through trickery, but the exact origin is uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

A horse (馬) with a flat, deceptive look (扁) tricks you into thinking it's tame, but it's really wild. 騙 means deceive.

Reading mnemonic

For ヘン, imagine a hen (ヘン) that deceives the farmer by pretending to lay eggs. The hen's trickery helps you remember ヘン.
