Etymology
蔪 combines 艹 (grass) with 斬, but the historical development and original meaning are uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The grass radical 艹 sits above 斬, but without a clear meaning, the visual shape is the main memory aid.
Reading mnemonic
For セン, imagine a thousand (千, せん) blades of grass being cut by the axe-like 斬 below: 千 -> セン.
