Etymology
攬 combines 扌 (hand) with 覽, which likely contributes the sound ラン and may carry a sense of overseeing or taking in, suggesting holding something in hand.
Meaning mnemonic
The hand radical 扌 beside 覽 (which suggests looking or inspecting) creates an image of a hand holding something up for close examination.
Reading mnemonic
For ラン, imagine running your hand over an object you hold: run -> ラン, and your hand grasps it firmly.
