The kanji 呈 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいもじ). The semantic component is 口 (くち, mouth), and the phonetic component is 王 (おう, king). The original meaning was likely related to presenting or offering something in a formal context, often in front of the ruler. The mouth (口) signifies speaking or communicating, and the king (王) indicates that the action would often be done in the presence or at the command of the king. Over time, the meaning expanded to encompass more general forms of presenting or showing something.
