fàn

(bound form) general

non-specific; extensive; pan-; to flood; (literary) to float about; to be suffused with (a color, emotion, odor etc)

water (氵) + lacking (乏) = water spreading everywhere, general and diffuse

乏 mainly gives the sound fàn; the water radical carries the meaning — water spreading without limit, diffuse and uncontained.
