Tips

usage
As a verb 'to strain liquid' it is literary and uncommon. Most learners meet it in the everyday word 湿漉漉 (soaking wet, dripping), where the reduplicated 漉 evokes water seeping out.

Components

radical
氵 shuǐ
water (left-side form)
Left-side water radical 氵, the three-drop form of 水. It signals that 漉 is about liquid — straining it or it seeping through.
phonetic
鹿 lù
deer
Right side 鹿 (deer) supplies the sound lù and nothing more. The same phonetic appears in 麓 (foot of a mountain).
