The kanji 済 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is 氵 (水 - water) which serves as a semantic component (meaning part), and the right side is 㚘 which serves as a phonetic component (sound part). Originally, the kanji may have depicted water flowing to a certain destination or settling a matter like the flow of water. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent completion or settlement.
