霧 begins with the rain radical ⻗, tying it to weather in the air. The rest gives the reading ム and suggests something spreading out and obscuring vision. 霧 is not heavy rain — it’s suspended moisture that hides shapes and blurs distance. In expressions like 霧中, it even means being “lost in a fog,” mentally or emotionally.
