old man
傁 centers on an old man, specifically an elderly male figure.
傁 combines 亻 (person) with 叟, which likely contributes both sound and the idea of an old man. The exact historical development of 叟 is uncertain.
A person 亻 beside 叟, a shape associated with old age: picture an elderly man leaning on a cane.
For ソウ, imagine an old man with a soulful gaze: soul -> ソウ, and the person radical 亻 reminds you it's about a person.
