róng

to melt

to thaw; to blend; to merge; to be in harmony; old variant of 融[rong2]

cooking pot (鬲) + creature (虫) = melt and merge

鬲 is an ancient three-legged vessel for cooking over fire, naturally suggesting heat, melting, and blending. 虫 mainly gives the sound róng; the vessel does all the semantic work.
