Etymology
讅 combines 言 (speech, words) with 審, which likely contributes both sound and the idea of examining or judging in detail. The character suggests knowing something thoroughly through careful inquiry or discussion.
Meaning mnemonic
Words (言) and careful examination (審) come together: imagine a scholar questioning every detail until they know the subject completely.
Reading mnemonic
For シン, picture a detective examining a scene in detail, thinking "I've seen (シン) everything now." The word "seen" cues シン while the detective's thorough inspection matches the kanji's meaning.
