Etymology

輇 combines 車 (vehicle, cart) with 全, which likely contributes the sound and may suggest the idea of completeness or wholeness, fitting a solid wheel without spokes.

Meaning mnemonic

A cart 車 with a complete 全 wheel: imagine a solid disc wheel with no missing spokes, making it whole.

Reading mnemonic

For セン, picture a solid cart wheel rolling down a path with a sen (千, thousand) other carts: 千 -> セン, and the wheel is complete.
