What 渫 means
It means to dredge, clear, or let something out.
Its core sense is removing silt; the classic well passage uses 渫 for a cleaned well. Later texts also record releasing liquid, dispersing, stopping, and describing filth. Water on the left sets the field; 枼 gives the sound.
Why can 渫 sound different?
Language and sentence decide the reading.
Mandarin dictionaries give xiè; Japanese records list setsu and chō plus native readings, while Korean records list seol and jeop. For “leak,” 泄 and 洩 are the nearer meaning-neighbors. Follow the surrounding language.
