The left side is 弓 gōng ‘bow’. The right side 虽 is the modern simple form of () suī ‘although’. A 弓 bow is strong, 虽 although it bends.

The simple-form character 强 (12 strokes) is an old variant of the full-form character 強 (11 strokes), replacing the full-form component 厶 (2 strokes) with 口 (3 strokes).
The true explanation is obscure. An older form was 彊, with 畺 jiāng phonetic.
+
The character 强/強 had very different old usage (see below), but was later used as an abbrev. of 彊 qiáng ‘strong’ (16 strokes); cf. 彊.
“The character originally meant ‘the larva of the corn-weevil’ and was applied, as abbreviation for 彊, to the homophonous word ‘strong’...” —Karlgren.

The Shuōwén Seal form of 强/強(􂕃) qiáng ‘weevil’ (蚚) combines 虫 ‘insect’, and 弘(􂏕) hóng (phonetic); formerly wr. 𧖑(􂕄) with 䖵 ‘insect’, and 彊(􂏑) qiáng (phonetic).
The form 強 (with 厶 rather than 口) is one stroke less, but perversely we call 强 the “simple” form and 強 the “full” form, only because is in the simple-form GB standard and 強 is in the full-form Big5 standard. This is one of those absurd situations where the “simple” form has more strokes than the “full” form.
+
Note: Formerly 强 qiáng‘weevil’, lost in modern usage; cf. 彊(􂏑) qiáng ‘strong (bow)’, later wr. 强/強.

Note: The full form 強 (with 厶 rather than 口) has one stroke less than 强, but strangely is the “simple” form because it is in the simple form GB standard, while 強 is in the full form Big5 standard; this is one of those absurd situations where the “simple” form has more strokes than the “full” form.
