🧃 water radical 氵 + 十 (ten) = the liquid squeezed from something

汁 — water radical 氵 + ten 十
A semantic-phonetic compound. The water radical 氵 signals a liquid, while 十 (originally read with a sound close to zhī) provides the phonetic cue. Together they denote sap or juice — any liquid squeezed from a plant or food.
