drift, float (on liquid)
漂 centers on moving gently without fixed direction: drifting on water or floating on a liquid surface.
漂 combines 氵 (water) with 票, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of light, floating movement. The exact historical development of 票 is uncertain.
Water 氵 plus 票 (which looks like a ticket floating on the surface) creates the image of something drifting on liquid.
For ヒョウ, imagine a ticket (票) floating on water and a person yelling 'Heave ho!' (ヒョウ) as they try to retrieve it.
