Etymology
絨 combines 糸 (thread) with 戎, which likely contributes a phonetic element. The character is used specifically for woolen textiles.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side is thread 糸, and the right side 戎 looks like a sturdy, protective shape. Picture thick wool threads woven into a warm, durable cloth.
Reading mnemonic
For ジュウ, imagine a soft wool cloth being gently squeezed: the sound 'juu' mimics the soft, plush feel as you press it.
