Meanings of elements
MALE PERSON with emphasis on RAISED FEET
…or: RAISED FEET with ERECTION IN PURSUIT with emphasis
…or: RAISED FEET with ERECTION TAUT (emphasis on erect)
「Rod up and in with emphasis and erection taut」「rod head up with emphasis with person」as TO DO IT WITH, TO USE, BY THE MEANS OF, BECAUSE, and in Japanese, THE STARTING POINT.
 In Chinese, also「raised feet, legs」with「erection in pursuit and taut」as the STARTING POINT, the MEANS OF, THROUGH WHICH the intent or purposes can be accomplished: the starting point and means of becoming a service provider or concubine was a「mattock with emphasis, and another person.」
 「Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」
  [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding 2012-12-17 ] 
 In some modern fonts, this glyph replaces the element of SUBMISSIVELY FOLLOWING () that refers to concubines in submission to a master (「sitting person with raised feet」is a service provider, as seen in these glyphs: , and perhaps one who has been rejected for some reason).
 Old variant, before foot-dis-integrating was popular, used () perhaps as two connected orifices placed into service 'the old way () by screwing an orifice' having the identical meaning of WHAT SOMETHING IS FOR, TO USE, TO DO IT WITH THIS, ACCORDING TO INTENDED USE.

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: with, by, by means of, because, in view of, to do by the use of

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.
