The kanji 泌 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side, 氵(sanzui, mitsui), is the radical for "water" or "liquid" and provides the semantic component, indicating that the character is related to fluids. The right side, 必(hitsu), is the phonetic component, providing the sound and also implying the idea of "certainly" or "must," potentially hinting at the necessity of the fluid's release or secretion. The combination indicates the action of a liquid certainly coming out.
