汗

hàn

perspiration

sweat; CL:滴[di1],頭|头[tou2],身[shen1]; to be speechless (out of helplessness, embarrassment etc) (Internet slang used as an interjection)

water (氵) + sound (干) = sweat

The water radical points directly to sweat as a liquid the body produces. 干 mainly contributes the hàn sound rather than a dry-versus-wet irony.

氵+干→汗
