Left: water 氵, right: alike/resemble sb.肖 (Small 小 bodies 月/肉 are alike.)

With water or sth. alike you can extinguish.

氵	water	The radical sanzui* 氵 is a short form of water 水*
肖	be similar
月	month	The radical tsuki stands for moon or month when used at the right side of a character. However the radical niku 肉 that stands for body or body-part is in many cases simplified to 月 and thus looks equal as "moon".
