The kanji 漠 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), which means it's a character formed by combining a semantic component (meaning) and a phonetic component (sound). The semantic component is 水 (mizu, water), symbolizing the vastness and formlessness of water or a wide expanse. The phonetic component is 莫 (baku), which contributes to the sound of the character. Thus, 漠 originally depicted a vast expanse of water, hence its association with emptiness and boundlessness.
