verb/adj — to splash, fling water; lively, fierce
字源 FORM — what the parts do
氵義water
{b,p,f}Ifā → pō — the {b,p,f} crossing
Water (氵) with 發 fā, an arrow loosed from the bow. Throw the water and it shoots out all at once, the way the arrow leaves the string — to splash, to fling (潑水, 潑冷水). From that burst of energy: alive and fierce (活潑, 潑辣). The sound moved across the {b,p,f} family, fā to pō.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
一盆水（氵）整把甩出去，像箭離弦（發）一樣射開。
A whole basin of water (氵) flung out at once, shooting away like an arrow off the string (發).
