wax tree, sumac
櫨 centers on a specific tree or its products: the wax tree (haze) and sumac, both known for yielding useful substances like wax or tannins.
櫨 combines 木 (tree) with 盧, which likely provides the sound ロ. The character was created to name the wax tree or sumac, with 木 indicating a plant and 盧 suggesting the pronunciation.
A tree 木 with a complex right side 盧 that looks like a container with a lid: imagine a wax tree whose sap is collected in a lidded pot to make wax.
For ロ, picture a row of wax trees lined up neatly: row -> ロ, and each tree produces wax.
