On-Yomi: チュウ — Kun-Yomi: なか、うち、あた.る

Elements:

in, stick, mouth

Heisig story:

The elements here are a walking stick and a mouth. Remember the trouble your mother had getting medicine in your mouth? Chances are it crossed her mind more than once to grab something handy, like your grandfather's walking stick, to pry open your jaws while she performed her duty. Keep the image of getting something in from the outside, and the otherwise abstract sense of this key word should be a lot easier than trying to spoon castor oil into a baby's mouth.
