Etymology

襜 combines the clothing radical 衤 with 詹, which likely contributes the sound. The character is associated with fluttering cloth, but the exact historical development is uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

The clothing radical 衤 beside 詹 suggests a garment caught in a breeze, its fabric fluttering and shaking.

Reading mnemonic

For セン, imagine the fluttering cloth making a soft 'sen' sound as it shakes in the wind: sen -> セン.
