酱
jiàng
thick paste of fermented soybean
marinated in soy paste; paste; jam
ferment vessel (酉) + sound (丬夕) = thick fermented paste
酉 is the semantic core, representing a fermentation vessel — the ancient crock used to brew and cure things. 丬 and 夕 together hint at the sound jiàng rather than the meaning.
