涼 is formed from the water radical 氵 on the left and the character 京 on the right. 氵 represents water or coolness, while 京 originally relates to an open, elevated place. Together, they suggest a cool, refreshing feeling like water or air moving through an open space. From this structure, 涼 came to mean cool, refreshing, or pleasantly cold.
涼 shows water bringing a refreshing coolness, meaning cool or refreshing.
Think of water (氵) flowing through an open place (京), creating a fresh, cool feeling. That refreshing coolness is 涼.
