It's formed by combining two parts: the top component is 訁 (gen/gon), which is a simplified form of 言, meaning "word" or "speech," and the bottom component is 冏 (kyō), which means "bright" or "shining." The combination suggests using "words" or "speech" to express something that is "bright" or "shining," thus conveying the idea of praising or honoring something.
