燥 is formed from the fire radical 火 on the left and the character 喿 on the right. 火 represents heat or burning, while 喿 suggests many sounds or restless activity. Together, they show heat causing things to lose moisture and become restless or rough. From this structure, 燥 came to mean dry, parched, or lacking moisture.
燥 shows heat removing moisture, meaning dry or parched.
Think of strong fire (火) heating something until it becomes rough and uncomfortable (喿). When heat dries everything out and makes it restless, that condition is 燥.
