Etymology

黸 combines 黑 (black) with 盧, which likely contributes the sound. The exact historical development is uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

The left side 黑 suggests blackness, and the right side 盧 is a complex shape. Picture a dark, sooty cauldron (盧) that leaves everything black.

Reading mnemonic

For ロ, imagine a low, dark cloud rolling in: low -> ロ, and the cloud turns everything black like 黸.
