Etymology

偣 combines 亻 (person) with 音 (sound). The exact historical development is uncertain, and the character is rare in modern Japanese.

Meaning mnemonic

A person 亻 beside sound 音 suggests something related to a person and sound, but the exact meaning is unclear. Think of a person listening intently to a sound.

Reading mnemonic

For エン, imagine a person 亻 hearing a sound 音 that echoes 'en' like the start of 'end': en -> エン.
