shī

Left: water 氵, right: visible 显 (If the sun 日 is [directly] over a hollow volcanic vent 业, it is visible there)

Water makes a sunny hole (=vent) wet. Or: Water is visible, when (i.e. the floor) is wet.

氵	Water
日	sun, day	This radical was developed from a circle with a central dot as the image of the sun. As you can hardly draw circles or dots with a brush, it became the current rectangular shape.
业	business	Derived from hill: 丘 or a volcano's peak with hollow vent/crater. Thus typically used as "hollow".
