dawn, daybreak
曙 centers on the first light of morning: the moment when night breaks into dawn or daybreak.
曙 combines 日 (sun) with 署, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of arranging or placing, suggesting the sun being placed at the horizon at dawn.
The sun 日 rises beside 署, like the sun being posted or arranged at the horizon to signal daybreak.
For ショ, imagine the dawn show: the sun puts on a show of light at daybreak. Show -> ショ.
