distress, grieve, lament, be anxious
愁 centers on emotional pain and worry: distress, grief, lamenting, and anxious feelings all share a heavy-hearted state of mind.
愁 combines 秋 (autumn) and 心 (heart). The traditional explanation is that autumn, a season of decline and melancholy, placed over the heart expresses sorrow and anxiety.
Autumn 秋 over a heart 心: picture the lonely feeling of autumn leaves falling on your heart, bringing distress and anxious thoughts.
For シュウ, imagine the autumn 秋 wind blowing through your heart, making a soft 'shuu' sound of lament: shuu -> シュウ.
