courtyard, garden, yard
庭 centers on an open outdoor space attached to a building: a courtyard, garden, or yard.
庭 combines 广 (building) with 廷 (court), suggesting an open area within a building's grounds. The modern form preserves this structure clearly.
Under the building roof 广, the inner 廷 looks like a leveled ground with a path leading to it. Picture a courtyard or garden right outside the building.
For テイ, imagine a tea party in the garden: tea -> テイ, and the courtyard is the perfect spot for it.
