Etymology

倶 is a variant form of 俱, combining the person radical 亻 with 具, which likely contributes both sound and the idea of being together or alike.

Meaning mnemonic

A person 亻 beside 具 (tool/ingredient) suggests people gathering together with shared tools or ingredients, emphasizing togetherness and similarity.

Reading mnemonic

For グ, imagine two people together saying 'Good!' in unison: Good -> グ, and they are both alike in their approval.
