「Measured flow」of a nautical distance.「Measured distance」of「fluid, flow.」「Wetland muck with plugging orifice」may be the only outlet available to sailors at sea miles from other ports, miles from nowhere. Actually, a nautical mile is a relatively recent invention, and is determined as one arc second of the circumference of the Earth at the equator: there are 21,600 arc seconds (360° × 60“) in any circle, and the equator is fairly long, but 1/21600 of that distance appeared to be approximately 1,852 meters or about 6,080.2 feet when initially conceived (presently 6,076 feet), give or take, and that is one nautical mile. Another way of expressing it is by assuming the distance from one of the poles to the Equator is 10,000,000 meters, and splitting that distance by 90° (one-quarter of the way around the 360° Earth), and then dividing each of those degrees by 60 arc seconds. The measure of speed as a KNOT refers to one nautical mile per hour.

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: nautical mile
Japanese: nautical mile, 1852m, 6080ft, knot
Unihan extended: nautical mile
EDRDG: knot; nautical mile

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.
