Etymology
魖 combines the ghost radical 鬼 with 虚, which likely contributes a phonetic element. The exact historical development is uncertain.

A ghost (鬼) inside an empty void (虚) suggests something eerie and insubstantial, but its exact meaning is unclear.
Reading mnemonic
For キョ, imagine a ghostly 'kyo' sound echoing from the void: kyo -> キョ.
