论

lùn

opinion

view; theory; doctrine; to discuss; to talk about; to regard; to consider; per; by the (kilometer, hour etc)

speech (讠) + ordered thought (仑) = opinion or theory

仑 carries the sense of ordered arrangement or logical sequence, so 论 is speech put into order — an articulated view or theory. Together they capture the idea of words structured into argument.
