Meanings of elements
BRIEFLY HALTING with SHORT DISTANCE
…or: FOOT with SOMETHING THAT OUGHT TO STOP
…or: NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FOOT with ROD or STREAM of PARTIAL EMISSIONS with HEAD SLIDING
No one can walk with both feet in forward motion simultaneously (go on…give it a try):「one foot ought to stop briefly as a short distance is moved.」WALKING, TAKING STEPS: represents「temporarily stopping one foot」while the other foot「moves in an up-then-down motion while sliding forward」ALTERNATING MOTIONS WITH ONE FOOT AND THEN THE OTHER, one's PACE, RATE of WALKING, or as STAGES OF PROGRESS, EACH STEP. Note the missing stroke from the lower element compared to the Japanese version of this glyph, 歩
[Chinese version] upper element of「foot dis-integrating process」with a divine, young prepubescent girl, meaning「to cease, stop further movement」with one aspect directly referring to the girl's future ability to walk, or lack thereof, and another perhaps, as an admonition to「stop the practice of foot-busting.」As depicted in erotic Chinese art, men in dynastic China masturbated by wrapping no-longer-integrated feet around an erect penis:「Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's [no-longer-integrated] bound feet」(after removing the binding cloths, of course) [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding 2012-12-17 ] a「busted foot and a partial [left half] emission stream with head sliding」indicates STAGES OF PROGRESS during use [left foot first?], ALTERNATING MOTIONS WITH ONE FOOT AND THEN THE OTHER.
Lower-center element is either「stream」or「rod, vertical reciprocating motion」[varies by font]. If「head sliding with rod streaming emissions is stopped」by no longer using no-longer-integrated feet in this manner, or not dis-integrating feet in the first place, then each young girl can continue WALKING, TAKING STEPS, MAKING PROGRESS: see 少 meaning「something that ought to be stopped.」

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: a step; a pace; walk; march; stages in a process
Japanese EDRDG: step, pace, walk, stroll
Unihan extended: step, pace; walk, stroll

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.
