dissipate

渙 is composed of the radical 水 (water) and 奐 (excellent). 奐 depicts two hands pulling a person out from a cave. A person who was previously trapped inside the cave, once brought out to the open, would naturally disperse and spread out like flowing water. Therefore, 渙 is used to mean to dissipate.
