dew, tears, expose, Russia
露 centers on something that appears briefly or becomes visible: dew or tears that form and are exposed to view, and by extension, revealing or exposing something hidden. The country name Russia is a phonetic loan unrelated to the core meaning.
露 combines 雨 (rain) with 路, which likely contributes the sound and may suggest something appearing along a path, like dew. The modern form is consistent with this phono-semantic structure.
Rain 雨 falls on a path 路, and in the morning you see dew drops exposed on the ground. Those drops are like tears, briefly visible before they disappear.
For ロ, imagine a row of dew drops lined up on a leaf: row -> ロ, and each drop is a tiny exposed tear.
