Etymology

鰏 combines 魚 (fish) with 畐, which likely contributes the sound. The exact historical development is uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

The left side is 魚 (fish), and the right side is 畐. Without a clear meaning, picture a rare fish with a full, rounded body like the shape of 畐.

Reading mnemonic

For ヒョク, imagine a fish named Hyoku that is so rare, saying its name feels like a special hook: Hyoku -> ヒョク.
