ford, go cross, transit, ferry, import, involve
渉 centers on moving across a boundary or medium: physically fording a river, crossing from one side to another, or figuratively getting involved in a matter. The transit and import senses extend this idea to moving things or people across borders.
渉 combines 氵 (water) with 歩 (walk), suggesting walking through water to cross a river. This is a straightforward semantic compound.
Water 氵 on the left and walking 歩 on the right: picture yourself stepping through shallow water to ford a stream. That act of crossing connects to transit, ferrying, and getting involved.
For ショウ, imagine a show of determination as you ford the river: show -> ショウ, and you cross with confidence.
