殿 is made from 殳 (action or strike) and a building structure. In ancient times, important buildings were strongly protected and guarded. Because rulers stayed in such protected places, 殿 came to mean palace, hall, or lord.
殿 is an important, protected building.
Imagine a grand palace ????, guarded and protected from all sides. That important hall is 殿.
