Etymology
邌 combines 辶 (movement) with 黎, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to darkness or many, but the exact historical development is uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The movement radical 辶 wraps around 黎, a dense, dark-looking shape. Imagine a slow, formal parade moving through the dark, each step deliberate.
Reading mnemonic
For レイ, picture a slow parade led by a person named Ray: Ray -> レイ, and Ray walks slowly at the front.
