surround, return
繞 centers on encircling or going around something: surrounding, winding around, or returning by a circular path.
繞 combines 糸 (thread) with 堯, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of winding or encircling, as thread can be wrapped around something.
Thread 糸 winding around the tall, layered shape of 堯: picture a spool of thread encircling a high mound, surrounding it completely.
For ジョウ, imagine a thread wrapping around a giant Joe (ジョウ) who is standing on a mound: Joe -> ジョウ, and the thread surrounds him.
