Etymology
諾 combines 言 (speech) with 若, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of a compliant or agreeable response.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side 言 is speech, and the right side 若 looks like a person nodding in agreement. Together they show consent given through words.
Reading mnemonic
For ダク, imagine a duck quacking its agreement: duck -> ダク, and the duck's quack is its verbal consent.
