get wet, damp, make love
濡 centers on becoming wet or damp, whether from water or other moisture. The rare sense of making love is a figurative extension of being emotionally or physically drenched.
濡 combines 氵 (water) with 需, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of moisture or soaking. The exact historical development of 需 is uncertain, but the water radical clearly marks the wetness meaning.
Water 氵 pours over 需, soaking everything until it is thoroughly wet and damp.
For ジュ, imagine a jeweler dipping a gem into water to clean it: jew -> ジュ, and the gem gets wet.
