exhort, urge, encourage
奨 centers on pushing someone forward with words or spirit: exhorting, urging, or encouraging action.
奨 is the modern simplified form of 奬. The older form combines 將 (general/leader) with 大 (big), suggesting a big push or encouragement from a leader. The modern 将 component is a simplification of 將.
A general (将) stands tall over a big (大) crowd, urging them forward with a strong voice. 奨 is to exhort and encourage.
For ショウ, imagine a general giving a show of encouragement: show -> ショウ, and the big crowd is urged into action.
