満 is formed from 氵, meaning “water,” and elements that suggest something being completely filled. Imagine water being poured into a container until it reaches the very top. Once there is no more space left, the container is full. From this image, 満 came to mean full, filled, or satisfied.
満 shows water filling a container completely until nothing more can be added.
Picture pouring water into a bowl until it overflows. That completely full state is 満.
