🗿🐘 像 = person 亻 + elephant 象 (zō): a likeness of a person, also read zō
象 (zō) means elephant and also gives 像 its sound. Add the person radical 亻 and you get a likeness made of someone: a statue or an image. Same reading, plus a person.
像 — person radical 亻 + elephant 象
Originally 象 alone meant 'elephant' and by extension 'image/likeness,' since elephants were rare and people knew them mainly through depictions. The 亻 (person) radical was later added to specialize the meaning as 'image, likeness, resemble,' leaving 象 for the animal itself.
