Shuowen: 《說文解字》：漏，以銅受水，刻節，晝夜百刻；又「屚」，屋穿水下也。「漏」讀 lòu，**本篇2見**：**「則爲漏風」「漏風之狀」**；**「濡」讀 rú，沾濕也**；**「單」讀 dān**；**「渴」讀 kě**；**「中風」之「中」讀 zhòng**。

In brief

Leaking wind is one of the winds named after the manner of contracting them: wind struck while drinking. Wang Bing’s gloss explains the name — the heat is pent and the interstices loose, so the sweat pours out as though it leaked. Its signs are all signs of a body that cannot keep its fluids in.
