Etymology

蚹 combines 虫 (insect) with 付, which likely provides the sound. The exact historical development is uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

The insect radical 虫 suggests a bug-related meaning, but without a clear definition, picture a mysterious insect clinging to a surface like 付 (attach).

Reading mnemonic

For フ, imagine a fly (フ) buzzing around the insect radical 虫: the sound of a fly cues フ.
