Since I cannot know your native language, I am unable to provide information about its correspondence with the kanji 浄.

The kanji 浄 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It is composed of two parts: the water radical 氵 (also written as 水, meaning "water") and the phonetic component 争 (meaning "to struggle" or "to contend"). The water radical 氵 hints at the idea of washing or cleansing, while 争 suggests the effort or process of removing impurities. Together, these components create the meaning of "purify" or "cleanse." Over time, the character has maintained its association with purity and the act of making something clean.
