Etymology
瓫 combines 分 (divide) and 瓦 (tile/earthenware). The exact historical development is uncertain, but it likely relates to a type of earthenware vessel.
Meaning mnemonic
The top 分 suggests dividing, and the bottom 瓦 is earthenware. Picture dividing clay into pieces to make pottery, but the exact meaning is uncertain.
Reading mnemonic
For ホン, imagine a potter honing a clay vessel: hone -> ホン, while shaping the earthenware 瓦.
