embarrass, humiliate, shame
辱 centers on the loss of dignity: being embarrassed, humiliated, or shamed, often through an external action that lowers one's standing.
辱 combines 辰 (a pictograph of a clam shell, used as a farming tool) and 寸 (hand). The original sense was likely related to manual labor or working the soil, which later extended to the idea of humiliation or disgrace, possibly through the notion of being reduced to menial work.
The top 辰 looks like a clam shell used as a tool, and the bottom 寸 is a hand. Imagine a hand holding a dirty tool, forced to do degrading work—this is the picture of shame and humiliation.
For ジョク, imagine a joke that backfires and humiliates you: joke -> ジョク, and the embarrassment is like a hand holding a clam shell, a symbol of disgrace.
