summit, peak
峰 centers on the highest point of a mountain: a summit or peak. It is used for literal mountain peaks and can extend to figurative high points.
峰 combines 山 (mountain) with 夆, which likely contributes the sound and carries a sense of pointedness or meeting at the top. The character expresses a mountain peak.
The left side is a mountain 山, and the right side 夆 looks like a pointed shape with a foot. Picture a mountain with a sharp summit rising above the rest.
For ホウ, imagine standing on the peak and letting out a loud 'Ho!' sound that echoes across the mountains: Ho! -> ホウ.
