Etymology

The historical origin of 奙 is uncertain. It appears to combine 奄 with 电, but the exact development and original meaning are unclear.

Meaning mnemonic

Since the meaning is unclear, focus on the shape: 奄 (cover) over 电 (electricity), like a covered electrical device. This may help recall the character even without a fixed meaning.

Reading mnemonic

For ホン, imagine a covered electric device humming with a deep 'hon' sound: hon -> ホン.
