Etymology

鱒 combines 魚 (fish) with 尊, which likely contributes the sound and may have originally referred to a type of fish. The exact historical development is uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

The left side 魚 means fish, and the right side 尊 looks like a noble or prized object. Picture a prized fish, the salmon trout, being presented on a platter.

Reading mnemonic

For ソン, imagine a son proudly catching a salmon trout: son -> ソン, and the fish is the prize of the day.
