浑

hún

muddy; turbid

brainless; foolish; (bound form) simple; natural; (bound form) whole; entire; all over

water (氵) + army (军) = muddy, turbid water

The water radical carries the meaning — murky or turbid water that has lost its clarity. 军 lends the sound hún and does not contribute semantically.
