dew

surname Lu; syrup; nectar; outdoors (not under cover); to show; to reveal; to betray; to expose

rain (雨) + road sound (路) = dew and exposure

Rain falling on the ground leaves moisture exposed in the open air — that is dew, syrup, or anything laid bare. 路 gives the sound lù; the rain radical carries the meaning.
