ràng

to yield

to permit; to let sb do sth; to have sb do sth; to make sb (feel sad etc); by (indicates the agent in a passive clause, like 被[bei4])

speech (讠) + phonetic (上) = letting someone through with words

The speech radical (讠) carries the meaning: yielding, permitting, and directing others often happens through spoken words. 上 mainly contributes the sound ràng rather than meaning.
