stinking, ill-smelling, suspicious looking, odor, savor, fragrance, be fragrant, stink, glow, be bright
臭 centers on a strong, often unpleasant smell, but can also refer to fragrance or savor in certain contexts. The idea of being suspicious looking extends from something that 'smells' wrong.
臭 combines 自 (nose) and 犬 (dog), suggesting a dog's keen sense of smell. Historically, it represented odor or sniffing, and the modern form retains this component relationship.
A nose (自) and a dog (犬) together: imagine a dog sniffing out a strong smell. Whether stinky or fragrant, the dog's nose detects it.
For シュウ, imagine a shoe that smells so bad even a dog wrinkles its nose: shoe -> シュウ, and the stink is unmistakable.
