感 is formed from 咸 on the top and the heart radical 心 on the bottom. The heart element relates to feelings and inner states, while 咸 originally carries the idea of something affecting or influencing. Together, they express the heart being influenced or moved by something. From this idea, 感 came to mean to feel, sense, or be emotionally affected.
感 shows the heart being influenced, meaning to feel or sense.
Remember 感 as something that affects the heart and creates a feeling.
