haziness, dreaminess, gloom
朧 centers on a soft, unclear state where outlines blur: haziness, dreaminess, or a dim, gloomy atmosphere.
朧 combines 月 (moon) with 龍, which likely contributes the sound. The moon association suggests a dim, hazy light, fitting the meaning of haziness or dreaminess.
A moon 月 beside a dragon 龍: imagine a dragon's breath misting the moonlight, making everything hazy and dreamlike.
For ロウ, picture a low mist rolling in with the dragon's breath: low -> ロウ, and the moon becomes hazy.
