I see a person 人 situated behind the mouth/entrance (口) and the deepest part of the cave (the radical on top). As such, the cave CONTAINS the person.

When I saw this character, I thought of a dog that has a sagging ear and eye and the mouth character expresses the dog’s mouth. That dog would then be in its dog house that CONTAINS a crown on the top.

Imagine a roof (宀) holding things inside. 容 is about containing things, like a roof over a house keeps everything inside safe.

Picture 宀 the roof as a simple shelter or cover, under which things are contained safely and peacefully. The bottom part represents a wide, open space, suggesting room and freedom—things “fit” EASILY inside, without complication.
