叫 is formed from the mouth radical 口 on the left and the character 丩 on the right. 口 represents the mouth or voice, while 丩 shows twisting or tightening. Together, they show the mouth tightening and forcing sound outward. From this structure, 叫 came to mean shout, call out, or cry.
叫 shows the mouth forcing out sound, meaning shout or call.
Think of your mouth (口) tightening and pushing sound out strongly (丩). That loud voice or cry that comes out is 叫. Remember 叫 as calling out or shouting with your voice.
