Etymology

邸 combines 氐 (a phonetic element suggesting 'foundation' or 'base') with ⻏ (village/city), originally referring to a residence or lodging place for officials in a city.

Meaning mnemonic

The left side 氐 looks like a foundation or base, and the right side ⻏ is a city wall. Picture a grand mansion built on a solid foundation within the city walls.

Reading mnemonic

For テイ, imagine a stately mansion where the owner offers you a cup of tea: tea -> テイ, and you enjoy it in the elegant residence.
