容 is formed from 宀, meaning “roof” or “building,” on the top, and 谷, meaning “valley” or “space,” below. The roof represents a structure, and the valley represents open space. Together, they express the idea of having space inside a structure. From this, 容 came to mean to contain, accept, or allow.
容 shows space inside a structure, meaning to contain or accept.
Remember 容 as having enough space inside to hold or accept something.
