Meanings of elements
multiple HEADS of PEOPLE
…or: multiple HEADS of A MALE PERSON
…or: multiple HEADS SLIDING on ROD
Perhaps, many「heads of people」as heads in a crowd, LOITERING, such as when STANDING IDLE or LINGERING AIMLESSLY, DAWDLING or DELAYING:「multiple sliding rod heads」…in fact, the「going man」radical, or perhaps better said as a「man going radical, departing markedly from the usual or customary in an extreme or drastic manner.」Scholars claim these element are the symmetrical image of (an「array, line of males」who all are TAKING SMALL STEPS), but in the case of this glyph, with only the left foot…, leading to a person HOPPING ABOUT in a small circle of PURPOSELESS MOTIONS. Perhaps so, but hopping about while「sliding rod heads」does clearly describe the manner in which dynastic era Chinese males masturbated with one no-longer-integrated foot of a prostituting service provider—see erotic Chinese art for details, and a thousand or so other glyphs in this database that clearly describe this behavior. Begin with the glyph element
 「Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture…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 ] 
 Despite the shape of the strokes today, scholars conjecture that is 'stepping with the left foot' as a mirrored element of 'stepping with the right foot' () and together forming the glyph「to go.」…nevertheless, stepping only with one foot (either the left or the right) and assuming that while doing so the subject does not fall down, normally causes movement within a fairly small circle, no matter how large or small the steps taken happen to be, or, causes one to drag a foot as might Igor the hunchback. However, both left and right feet in purposeless motion aimlessly does apply to a line of males loitering in a brothel queue and dawdling whilst awaiting admittance. See for the actual integrated meaning of the elements and all its various applications.

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: step with left foot
Japanese: kanji "going man" radical, to stand a while, to loiter, to stop
Unihan extended: step with left foot
EDRDG: stop; linger; loiter; going man radical (no. 60)

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.
