Given external source Chinese meaning of TRAMPLE means「to beat down with the feet so as to crush, bruise, or destroy. To treat harshly or ruthlessly. To tread heavily or destructively. To inflict injury as if by treading heavily」 [ https://www.thefreedictionary.com/trample ] and perhaps relates to the RUMP (as well as to no-longer-integrated feet in dynastic China) as a place of punishment, or some sort of other SHAFTING abuse, GETTING SHAFTED as it is used in modern English parlance. Trample is suggestive of a stampeding crowd to get or go somewhere in haste, again perhaps associated with an exposed RUMP and then to be the first in, first out.
Monkeys with TAILS are able to use them as a fifth limb when climbing, much like another arm or leg.「Stinky point midway between spread legs」also refers to the ANUS, and releases of stunning FLATULENCE.「Loose and dripping inside spread legs」describes a scorpion TAIL with venomous telson prior to or after delivering a sting, or a man's short arm/leg prior to or after delivering some sort of its own sting.
Or: as the FOOTPRINT radical applied in dynastic China, these elements are the combination of「rod in reciprocal motions with no-longer-integrated foot loose dripping and stinky」which is not to undermine the RUMP interpretation of「leaving a noticeable impression in some sort of soil」as would be the case both with a footprint, and a rod accessing a RUMP hole.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that),
representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created.
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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today.
Sex had no shame in ancient China.
Why would it?
But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?
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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better?
Or could they 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 lexicon.
This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
