jiǎng

to speak

to explain; to negotiate; to emphasize; to be particular about; as far as sth is concerned; speech; lecture

speech (讠) + sound hint (井) = to speak and explain

The speech radical (讠) carries the meaning here — words, talking, explaining. 井 mainly lends the jiǎng sound and doesn't add semantic weight.
