Etymology

度 combines 广 (building) with an inner component that likely contributed the sound and the idea of measuring or passing. The exact historical development of the inner part is uncertain.

Reading mnemonic

For ド, picture a door under the roof: door -> ド, and each time you open it you count one occurrence.
