xié

(bound form) harmonious

(bound form) humorous; (literary) to reach agreement

speech (讠) + all in harmony (皆) = harmonious words

皆 lends the sound xié; the speech radical points to meaning — words that flow together in agreement. The image of speech reaching all (皆 means 'all, everyone') gives a pleasing sense of voices in unison.
