manufacture paper, spread out thin, strain, percolate
漉 centers on separating solids from liquids by passing through a porous medium: straining, percolating, or spreading a thin layer to form paper.
漉 combines 氵 (water) with 鹿, which likely contributes the sound ロク. The character expresses the action of straining or filtering through water.
Water 氵 flows through a deer-shaped filter 鹿, straining out impurities and spreading a thin layer of pulp to make paper.
For ロク, imagine a lock on a strainer: lock -> ロク, and only filtered water gets through.
