Etymology
趲 combines 走 (run, move) with 贊, which likely contributes the sound and may reinforce the idea of urging or hastening. The exact historical development is uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The running enclosure 走 wraps around 贊, which looks like a pile of treasures (貝) being urged forward. Picture someone hastily urging a cart full of valuables to move faster.
Reading mnemonic
For サン, imagine the sun (サン) beating down, making everyone hurry to get out of the heat. The sun urges you to hasten: sun -> サン.
