需 Xū

需 (Xū) is composed of the 雨 radical on top and the character 而 (Ér) "And, You, Beard, Wait" on the bottom.

When a rainstorm happens, there is a need to find shelter from the rain. Thus, this character references the need to wait for the rain to pass or the need to shield onself from the rain.
