Here is how you can make sense of this character. It consists of this shape 亻 which stands for a man, plus this shape 主 which consists of a dab 丶 plus king 王. if you put the dab on the top of a king, it gives him more importance. he is now not just any king, he is a (master) in what he's doing. so now you have a man master. Where can any man be a master? of course in the house where he (LIVES) and that's the meaning of this character (住) it means to live in a certain place, in a house or in an apartment.

I’ve often heard many Chinese people use the English word “live” when they mean “stay at” (i.e. “I’m live the hotel.” vs “I’m staying at the hotel.”). I feel like it might be a slang term or informally used as “stay/staying at”. It would be nice to see this meaning added, at least as a less accurate meaning. I’m also seeing it used this way in my Rosetta Stone lessons.
