液 is made from the water radical 氵 and the character 夜 (night). At night, things become quiet and still, like liquid resting in a container. Because liquids flow calmly and spread out, this kanji came to mean liquid or fluid.
液 is water that flows calmly like the night.
Imagine a glass of water ???? sitting quietly at night ????, smooth, still, and flowing when moved. That liquid is 液.
