润

rùn

moist; glossy; sleek

to moisten; to lubricate; to embellish; to enhance; profit; remuneration; (neologism c. 2021) (slang) (loanword from "run") to emigrate (in order to flee adverse conditions)

water (氵) + phonetic 闰 = moist and sleek

The water radical carries all the meaning here — moisture, lubrication, sleekness. 闰 contributes the sound rùn and does not add semantic weight.
