char, hurry, impatient, irritate, burn, scorch, singe
焦 centers on the idea of being burned or scorched, both physically and emotionally: charring, singeing, or the mental state of being so heated that one becomes impatient, irritated, or in a hurry.
焦 combines 隹 (a short-tailed bird) with 灬 (fire), originally depicting a bird being burned or scorched by fire. This gave rise to the meanings of charring and, by extension, the mental state of being 'burned up' with impatience or irritation.
A bird (隹) is being roasted over a fire (灬), becoming charred and scorched. This image of burning extends to the feeling of being so heated that you become impatient and irritated.
For ショウ, imagine the bird being scorched and letting out a sharp 'show' of smoke: show -> ショウ, as the fire burns beneath it.
