contact, arrange

洽 is composed of the radical 水 (water) and 合 (fit, together). 合 is a pictograph of a lidded container, implying convergence or meeting. Water, being a liquid, can fill the gaps created when objects are joined, so 洽 represents a high level of convergence, such as communication or harmony between people.
