soar, fly
翔 centers on graceful, sustained flight: soaring through the air or flying with wings spread wide.
翔 combines 羊 (sheep) and 羽 (feathers/wings). The sheep component likely contributes the sound, while 羽 gives the meaning of flying or soaring.
A sheep (羊) with wings (羽) soars through the sky—an unlikely but memorable image of graceful flight.
For ショウ, imagine a sheep soaring so high it becomes a show in the sky: show -> ショウ, and the winged sheep puts on a flying display.
