voiced, uncleanness, wrong, nigori, impurity
濁 centers on impurity or cloudiness that corrupts clarity: water that is muddy, a sound that is voiced (nigori), or something morally wrong or unclean.
濁 combines 氵 (water) with 蜀, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of something thick or turbid. The character expresses water that is muddy or impure.
Water 氵 mixed with 蜀 (a shape suggesting a thick, crawling creature) becomes muddy and impure. Imagine a murky pond where the water is clouded with silt and tiny creatures.
For ダク, picture a duck landing in muddy water: duck -> ダク, and the water becomes turbid and impure.
