Tips

usage
here means 'abundant / plenty of' (as in ). The phrase is typically used adverbially (饶有兴趣 + verb) to describe watching or listening with absorbed, active interest — stronger than plain 感兴趣.
memory
Think = 'plenty,' = 'have,' 兴趣 = 'interest' → 'has plenty of interest.' Stack the four characters literally and the meaning is almost transparent.
