Meanings of elements
WHAT CAN BE DONE? HOW CAN ONE HELP? with ROD
…or: WOODY with DISPLAY
…or: WOOD on SACRIFICIAL MEAT ALTAR
Maybe someone who ENDURES, BEARS the physical labor and heat of「placing wood on an altar」as some sources suggest, but that leaves out sour apples…. Also meaning CRABAPPLE TREE, that bears small sour red fruit requiring ENDURANCE to BEAR the taste.
 「Woody displayed」or a「woody」that recently has「gotten religion」(or a dose of it, at least) at the shaman's shrine-temple as it relates to a tree covered with small, red bumps or spots that are difficult to endure or bear may refer to herpetic lesions or chancres euphemistically resembling crabapples, and was a good reason to start praying.
 As an element, seemingly means「difficult to be rid of, cannot get away from」and both the herpes virus and the pox did stay with a person for the remainder of life, having NO CURE. Crabapples remain tart difficult to endure even after fully ripening, hence there is NO CURE for that sourness naturally. In that sense, one's wood will have been sacrificed upon the shaman's altar of love, while in the heat of the moment and「placing wood on an altar.」
 Elements as「no help possible with rod」or「screwing in concubine」further the sour-apples meaning, but from different perspectives, naturally.

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: crab-apple; how can one help?
Unihan extended: crab-apple tree; endure, bear
EDRDG: crab-apple tree; endure; bear

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.
