condition, situation
況 centers on the state or circumstances of something: its condition or situation. It is used to describe how things stand.
況 combines 氵 (water) with 兄, which likely contributes the sound. The water component may relate to the idea of a situation being fluid or shaped by conditions, but the exact historical development is uncertain.
Water 氵 beside an older brother 兄: imagine an older brother checking the water conditions before a trip, assessing the situation.
For キョウ, picture the older brother shouting 'KYOU!' (like 'kyo') when he sees the water condition is dangerous: KYOU -> キョウ.
