Meanings of elements
SURROUNDING VEHICLES
…or: ROTATION of PLUGGING ORIFICES
…or: SURROUND ON ALL SIDES with VEHICLE, SEQUENTIAL SCREWING IN ORIFICE
「Vehicles on all sides」as with an army on the move, refers to the MILITARY, ARMY: vehicles are vital for moving war materiel. Recall that there were no high-speed roadway systems full of semi-tractor trailer 18-wheeler big rigs initially, and the only time most anyone would see「vehicles on all sides」would be when an army was passing by. Mnemonic: perhaps a「vehicle bound on all sides」today might represent a tank, armored personnel carrier, battleship, stealth bomber, etc. Or, vehicles drawn into a circle, as in 'circle the wagons' for defense by placing them on all sides.
 「Surrounded by rotation of plugging orifice」may refer to spearing enemy bodies, and/or to the involuntary terms of conscription into the military required by liege lords.「Surrounded rotation with filled orifices」could very well be the sages' description of the MILITARY practice of using captured females/ males/ ewes as sex slaves that in more contemporary times are referred to as spearing, plugging, penetration of so-called 'comfort women' travelling with the troops—only gangs of thugs or the military have the might to bring along a gaggle of sex slaves for use during the journey.「Vehicle surrounded on all sides」by the waiting lines of soldiers.「Covered vehicles」were the MEATWAGONS, used by the soldiers with women prostitutes, as the ambulances, hearses, and portable kitchens. Note that the sages often were disparaging of war, armies, soldiering, and such: not when used for defense of course, but when used as a means of killing time and otherwise filling long afternoons of boredom, or war for the sake of war itself, or for the redistribution of wealth from one unfair condition to simply a different unfair condition. Then there is God Almighty's take on this matter, found in Deuteronomy 21:10 When you go to war…and you take captives, 11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her into your home…then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. 14 If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.

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)

Japanese: war, battle, campaign, fight, troops, forces, army
Unihan extended: army, military; soldiers, troops

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.
