Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
TONGUING SOMETHING IN A MOUTH, SPEAK, SAY and THROBBING, PULSATING, REPEATED SERIES OF SWELLING AND SHRINKING, TURGID AND FLACCID, SOMETHING COVERING A HEAD or CENTER OF A FLESHPOT, GOAL, PLACE WHERE EYES ARE FOCUSED, EYES, CONTENTS, EXPERIENCE, CARE
Top element is「pulsating, throbbing」(but often is drawn as「sun, day」or as「tonguing mouth, say」in most modern fonts), with「goal, aim, eye.」Formerly used elements of「pulsating, throbbing meat」(冐) with the initial Chinese meanings as「emissions, to emit from, send out or up, bravery, audacity, bold actions」perhaps due to being either so horny or stupid that the person will attempt any act with any thing to achieve orgasmic relief. Extended meanings in Japanese of ATTACK, DEFY, CURSE, BLASPHEME as a person performing some「disgraceful, unnatural act」often with ewe (any orifice will do). Later, perhaps as someone who has「throbbing eyeballs」due to EXTREME ANGER, or, hay fever. The original elements seem to have been obscured to conceal the original meaning—see「pulsating, throbbing meat」(冐).

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: to emit; to give off; to send out (or up, forth); brave; bold; to cover; to act under false pretences
Japanese EDRDG: risk, face, defy, dare, damage, assume (a name)
Unihan extended: risk, brave, dare

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.
