Whilst given external definitions no longer directly reference 'feet,' the use of this glyph as an element clearly means feet, or a foot in various states, such as the shape 龰 perhaps as flattened with the arch crushed. Moreover, in days long ago when all travel occurred by moving the feet of either a person or of an animal being ridden, the notion of HALTING, STOPPING for a time also related only to feet, the「protruding end of a limb used to walk upon」at some point in one's life….
　「Becoming divine, prepubescent girl」and「rod, raised up」as a surefire means for causing folks to STOP, HALT and CEASE movements for a time, since everyone knows that sex sells (especially when selling sex) by attracting the attention of potential buyers. Related and nearly identical element of 'divine prepubescence atop person' (龰) refers to something EROTIC as an attention-grabbing device.
　Elements as「divine prepubescence」with「biting」needs no explanation as STOP IMMEDIATELY, CEASE and DESIST, with the element (レ) rotated and pointing upward as it is in the glyph meaning「fangs, tusks, biting.」Clearly, breaking foot bones causes that person to STOP, CEASE moving, stop walking normally for the remainder of life, and CEASE being normal from this moment on. Possibly (レ) rotated and raised blade of a「mattock」pointing upward in order to use the blunt backside of the head as a heavy clubbing device downward on a「prepubescent girl.」These same elements but as「legs raised (and inverted)」would place the subject lying prone facedown with legs raised in preparation for the dis-integrating procedure, soles upward.
　PROCESS OF FOOT dis-integratING was:「…[T]he custom of applying painfully tight binding to the feet of young girls to prevent further growth. …Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture…. Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」

　「Viewing women as commodities [see 品] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」

　「Bound feet were a mark of beauty…. Women…took great pride in tiny feet, with the ideal length, called the 'Golden Lotus,' being about 7 cm (2.75 inches) long. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5.」

　「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

　Perhaps elements of「becoming divine, prepubescent girl」and「busted foot, high tension」but the foot bones are not yet crushed, so that the「busted foot」element (ㄅ) is still flat and not yet no-longer-integrated, but with the intention of transforming this person into a diva singing girl concubine. Meaning ABOLISH, HALT THIS ACTION, CEASE or STOP THAT, DON'T DO THAT ANY LONGER, REMEMBER, BEAR IN MIND WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND STOP. FINISHING BLOW, THE CLINCHER that causes an unchangeable result.
