enter, insert
入 centers on the idea of going or putting something into a space: entering a place or inserting an object.
入 is a pictograph of something entering or being inserted, with the strokes suggesting a pointed object going into an opening.
The two strokes look like an arrowhead or a wedge being pushed into a gap. Picture the tip entering a narrow space.
For ニュウ, imagine a new employee entering the office for the first time: new -> ニュウ, and they step inside.
