hinder, hurt, harm
障 centers on obstruction that causes difficulty or damage: hindering progress, causing hurt, or bringing harm. The meanings share the idea of something that blocks or interferes negatively.
障 combines ⻖ (mound, barrier) with 章, which likely contributes the sound. The mound radical suggests an obstacle or barrier, fitting the meaning of hindering or blocking.
The left side ⻖ looks like a steep mound or wall, and the right side 章 suggests a decorated barrier. Picture a wall that blocks your way, hindering you and causing harm if you try to force through.
For ショウ, imagine a show where a barrier hinders the performers: show -> ショウ, and the mound-like obstacle blocks the stage.
