Etymology
疾 combines 疒 (sickness) with 矢 (arrow). The arrow likely contributes both sound and the idea of something striking quickly, like a sudden illness or swift motion.
Meaning mnemonic
The sickness enclosure 疒 surrounds an arrow 矢. Picture an illness striking as fast as an arrow: 疾 means rapidly.
Reading mnemonic
For シツ, imagine a swift arrow hitting a sheet of paper with a sharp 'shitsu' sound: sheet -> シツ, and the arrow flies rapidly.
