to reveal
💧 Water radical 氵 + roof-and-rain part: water dripping through a roof, so it leaks
The reveal sense follows the same logic: a secret escapes its container and slips out, so you let it leak. Spoken as morasu, it covers both physical leaks and leaked words.
漏 — water radical 氵 + 屚 (leak component, rain 雨 under roof 尸)
漏 combines the water radical 氵 with 屚, which depicts rain 雨 leaking through a roof 尸. The right side gives both meaning and sound, while 氵 reinforces the water sense. Originally referring to a water clock or leaking water, it now broadly means 'to leak' or 'omit'.
