meeting, tryst, date, rendezvous
逢 centers on a planned or romantic encounter: a meeting, tryst, date, or rendezvous. It implies coming together intentionally rather than a chance meeting.
逢 combines the movement radical 辶 with 夆, which likely contributes the sound and possibly the idea of meeting or encountering. The exact historical development of 夆 is uncertain.
The movement radical 辶 suggests going somewhere, and the inside part 夆 looks like a person standing under a roof waiting. Picture walking to a meeting spot where someone is already waiting for a date.
For ホウ, imagine a hopeful rendezvous: you hope to meet your date, and 'hope' sounds like ホウ, tying the reading to the meeting.
