luxury
贅 centers on excess and lavishness: luxury, extravagance, or something superfluous. The idea of a wasteful surplus ties the given meaning together.
贅 combines 敖 (a phonetic element suggesting excess or arrogance) with 貝 (shell/money), pointing to wasteful spending or luxury. The exact historical development is uncertain.
The top part 敖 looks like a proud person flaunting wealth, and the bottom 貝 is money. Together they show money spent on showy excess: luxury.
For ゼイ, imagine a wealthy person saying 'zay' (like 'say' with a Z) while tossing coins into the air: zay -> ゼイ, and the money 貝 rains down in a wasteful display of luxury.
