Meanings of elements

DISEASE, SICK, PHYSICAL AILMENT with NOT WASHING REGULARLY, NOT CLEANSING WHEN ESSENTIAL, NOT BATHING, STENCH CLOUD, SPREADING INFECTIOUS DISEASES

In addition to gangrene, sepsis, gonorrhea, and the pox, feet that remain bound with stinky, sweaty cloth all day in the summer often develop a SKIN RASH. Further, not exactly prickly heat, but「erect prick splitting apart」(痱) might be more likely considering the replacement glyph. Perhaps the most infamous of SKIN PROBLEMS is leprosy, long thought to be an「infectious disease」from skin to skin contact, although this is not the case at all: leprosy is transmitted by air, infecting the lungs first after close and repeated contact with nose and mouth droplets from someone with untreated leprosy. Regardless, leprosy does generate some obvious skin problems and disfiguring skin sores, not to mention one's erection splitting apart. Folks with advanced leprosy, psoriasis, eczema and gangrene have a difficult time bathing due to their skin condition, so naturally these people tend to stink somewhat more than normal.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: variant of 痱
Unihan extended: prickly heat, rash
EDRDG: prickly heat; rash

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
