Etymology

噴 combines 口 (mouth) with 賁, which likely contributes the sound and carries a sense of bursting forth or gushing. The overall structure suggests something forcefully expelled from an opening.

Meaning mnemonic

The mouth 口 on the left and the bursting 賁 on the right together show a mouth violently spouting something out, like a volcano erupting.

Reading mnemonic

For フン, imagine a volcano erupting with a loud fun sound: fun -> フン, as lava and ash spout out.
