to fill
Manchu ethnic group; full; filled; packed; fully; completely; quite; to reach the limit; to satisfy; satisfied; contented
Water (氵) rising to the brim = full, filled, satisfied
The water radical carries the core meaning of fullness — water rising until a vessel is completely filled. The upper components 艹 and 两 are largely phonetic, giving the sound mǎn rather than adding meaning.
这杯水已经满了，别再倒了。
zhè bēi shuǐ yǐ jīng mǎn le, bié zài dào le。
This glass of water is already full, don't pour any more.
