Etymology
躝 combines 足 (foot) with 闌, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to crossing or winding movement. The exact historical development is uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The foot radical 足 suggests movement, and the right side 闌 looks like a gate or barrier. Picture a foot stepping over a gate, creeping through, or twining around it.
Reading mnemonic
For ラン, imagine a runner stepping over hurdles: run -> ラン, and the foot 足 carries you over each one.
