Etymology
騤 combines 馬 (horse) with 癸, which likely contributes the sound. The character is used to describe a horse's lively, vigorous movement.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side is a horse 馬, and the right side 癸 looks like a complex, energetic shape. Picture a horse bursting with so much energy that its outline seems to vibrate with extra strokes.
Reading mnemonic
For キ, imagine a lively horse that has found the key to endless energy: key -> キ, and the horse gallops vigorously.
