Etymology
慅 combines the heart radical 忄 with 蚤, which likely contributes the sound and may suggest a restless, flea-like agitation.
Meaning mnemonic
The heart 忄 beside a flea 蚤: imagine your heart jumping like a flea, unable to settle down. That restless feeling is agitation.
Reading mnemonic
For ソウ, picture your agitated heart making you feel like you need to sew (ソウ) something quickly to calm down: sew -> ソウ.
