Etymology
惷 combines 春 (spring) and 心 (heart/mind), likely suggesting a mind that is as unsettled or chaotic as spring weather, leading to confusion or foolishness.
Meaning mnemonic
Spring (春) is a time of new growth and change, but when it sits over the heart (心), the mind becomes scattered and confused, like a foolish person who can't think straight.
Reading mnemonic
For シュン, imagine a confused person who can't decide which shoe to put on: shoe confusion -> シュン, and their mind is as muddled as spring weather.
