loneliness, quietly, mellow, mature, death of a priest
寂 centers on a quiet, subdued state of being alone or still: loneliness, quietness, mellow maturity, and the solemn passing of a priest all share this sense of deep, calm isolation.
寂 combines 宀 (roof, building) with 叔, which likely contributes the sound. The compound originally suggested a quiet, still interior, extending to loneliness and solemnity.
Under a roof 宀, the lower part 叔 looks like a person sitting quietly alone. Picture a solitary figure in a silent house, feeling the deep calm of loneliness.
For ジャク, imagine a jack-o'-lantern sitting alone under the roof, its quiet glow filling the empty room: jack -> ジャク, and the stillness matches the lonely mood.
