chǔ

(bound form) to store up; to keep in reserve

surname Chu; Taiwan pr. [Chu2]; heir to the throne; Taiwan pr. [chu2]

person (亻) + [sound: zhū→chǔ] (诸) = a person storing things in reserve

The person radical (亻) anchors the meaning in human activity — storing and reserving things. 诸 contributes the sound chǔ rather than its own meaning of 'various.'
