How to remember

The kanji originally depicted a hand (又) holding a broom (帚, now stylized in the top part) sweeping away everything until nothing is left. This conveys the idea of exhausting or finishing something completely.
'ジン' (jin) — Imagine a **DJINN** (genie) who grants wishes until your resources are **exhausted**.
