honorable, manipulate, govern
御 centers on exercising control or authority: governing, manipulating, or handling something with a sense of honorable or respectful command.
御 combines 彳 (movement) with 卸, which likely contributes the sound and relates to controlling or handling. The exact historical development of 卸 is uncertain, but the compound suggests governing or managing through action.
The left side 彳 suggests movement or action, and the right side 卸 looks like a person handling something. Picture a respectful official moving to govern and manipulate affairs with honorable control.
For ギョ, imagine a governor named Gyo who manipulates the levers of power: Gyo -> ギョ, and his honorable rule governs the land.
