slaughter, butcher, slay
屠 centers on killing animals for meat or as an act of violence: slaughtering, butchering, or slaying.
屠 combines 尸 (a body or corpse) with 者, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to the act of slaughtering. The exact historical development is uncertain.
Picture a corpse (尸) being butchered by a person (者): the butcher is at work, slaughtering the animal.
For ト, imagine a butcher's toe accidentally getting cut while slaughtering: toe -> ト, and the bloody scene helps you remember the kanji's meaning.
