disclose, open, say
啓 centers on making something accessible that was previously closed or hidden: opening up, disclosing information, or speaking out to reveal or enlighten.
啓 is thought to combine 戸 (door) and 攵 (hand holding a stick) over 口 (mouth), suggesting the act of opening a door or speaking to reveal something. The exact historical development is uncertain.
A hand 攵 pushes open a door 戸 while a mouth 口 speaks out, disclosing what was hidden inside.
For ケイ, imagine opening a heavy gate with a loud 'kay!' sound: kay -> ケイ, as the door swings wide to disclose the secret.
