verification, effect, testing
験 centers on putting something to the test to confirm its truth or effectiveness: verifying, testing, or seeing the effect of something.
験 is the modern simplified form of 驗. The older form combines 馬 (horse) with 僉, which likely contributed the sound and originally related to examining or inspecting horses. The modern right side 㑒 is a simplified version of 僉.
The left side is a horse 馬, and the right side 㑒 looks like a person with a measuring tool. Imagine testing a horse's strength or verifying its health by putting it through a trial.
For ケン, picture a scientist named Ken conducting an experiment to test the horse's stamina: Ken -> ケン, and he verifies the effect.
