Etymology
惽 combines the heart radical 忄 with 昬, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of dimness or obscurity, suggesting a darkened or confused mind. The exact historical development is uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The heart 忄 beside 昬 (a dim or obscure shape) suggests a heart clouded over: confused thinking.
Reading mnemonic
For コン, imagine a confused person trying to study a complex conundrum: con -> コン, and their heart is muddled.
