Etymology
提 combines 扌 (hand) with 是, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of correctness or alignment, suggesting a hand guiding or presenting something.
Meaning mnemonic
The hand 扌 beside 是 looks like someone holding up a correct proposal: carrying it forward for others to see.
Reading mnemonic
For テイ, imagine a hand proposing a tray of tea: tea -> テイ, and the hand carries it along.
