Chinese sources describe the non-JIS glyph 𠫔 as an old elemental form of「talented arm (with hand)」(肱), resulting in「fully screwing talented meat with arm.」
Fundamentally describes the natural human reaction to putrescence. As「stinking loose and dripping short leg」with「night soil」or as the「smell of feces」these elements need no further explanation…see the related glyph (避) with a similar meaning but from a different perspective, 'flee, escape from' using elements of 'steps, motion' with 'anal penetration.' Other folks who must share a confined space with such conditions are not at all happy about it, and so CHASE AWAY, PARRY, SIDESTEP the rot at all costs, try to BECOME DISTANT and BE APART IN SPACE AND TIME as much as humanly possible, work to REMOVE, GET RID OF the rancid stench, or force the source TO LEAVE HOME.
If the stench and rot is associated with another human being, one good reason for DIVORCE, and expresses how someone, not always but generally does feel about a former spouse after a divorce: SHIT STINK.
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: to go; to go to (a place); to cause to go or send (sb); to remove; to get rid of; (when used either before or after a verb) to go in order to do something; to be apart from in space or time; (after a verb of motion indicates movement away from the speaker); (used after certain verbs to indicate detachment or separation); (of a time or an event etc) just passed or elapsed
Japanese: to go home, to leave, to pass, to die, to go bad, to rot, to go away, to elapse, to be distant, to send away, to drive off, to divorce, … completely, last …, to parry, to sidestep, to let go, to chase away

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.
