Etymology

浡 combines 氵 (water) with 孛, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of sudden growth or bursting. The exact historical development of 孛 is uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

Water 氵 plus the bursting shape 孛: imagine a geyser of water suddenly bursting forth from the ground with vigorous force.

Reading mnemonic

For ホツ, picture a hot spring suddenly bursting forth: hot -> ホツ, and the water rises vigorously.
