Etymology
褆 combines 衤 (clothing) with 是, which likely contributes a phonetic element. The exact historical development is uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side 衤 suggests clothing, and the right side 是 looks like a straight, correct shape. Imagine a perfectly tailored garment that fits just right, but remember the actual meaning is uncertain.
Reading mnemonic
For シ, picture a tailor sewing a perfect seam on the garment: sew -> シ, and the clothing 衤 is made correct 是.
