Etymology
崧 combines 山 (mountain) with 松, which likely contributes the sound and reinforces the idea of tallness through the image of a towering pine.
Meaning mnemonic
A mountain 山 with a pine tree 松 on top: the pine makes the mountain seem even higher and more eminent.
Reading mnemonic
For シュウ, imagine a shoe resting on the lofty peak: shoe -> シュウ, and the mountain is so high it touches the shoe of a giant.
