enjoy, receive, undergo, answer (phone), take, get, catch
享 centers on receiving something offered or given, often with a sense of enjoyment or acceptance. The meanings extend naturally from receiving a tangible thing to receiving an experience (undergo), a call (answer the phone), or an outcome (get, catch).
享 is thought to depict a tall building or ancestral temple (亠 over 口) with a child (子) below, suggesting offerings or receiving blessings. The exact historical development is uncertain, but the modern form visually combines these elements.
Picture a tall temple (亠 over 口) where a child (子) stands below, happily receiving a gift. The child enjoys and accepts what is given.
For キョウ, imagine the child in the temple shouting 'KYOU!' (like 'kyo') with joy as they receive a present. The sound 'kyou' matches キョウ and ties to the enjoyment of receiving.
