Etymology

訂 combines 言 (word, speech) with 丁, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of arranging or fixing. Together they suggest correcting or deciding through words.

Meaning mnemonic

Words (言) and a nail-like tool (丁) come together: imagine using a nail to pin down the final, corrected version of a document.

Reading mnemonic

For テイ, picture a teacher's table where you revise your essay: table -> テイ, and you correct your work there.
