Meanings of elements

LOINCLOTH, CLOTH WRAPPING FOR ONE'S HEAD, LAP CLOTH, ONE'S PRIDE, FREQUENT REPETITION with TO ACT OR BEHAVE UNDER FALSE PRETENSES
…or: ROD IN SPREAD LEGS with EMIT DISCHARGES, GIVE OFF STENCH, RISK, DESECRATED, DAMAGED, CURSE, BLASPHEME
…or: LOIN CLOTH with THROBBING MEAT
…or: CLOTH with BLASPHEME, CURSE

What today on the right looks like the element「sunny eyes」was actually「pulsating throbbing meat」(冐). Also meaning「to curse, blaspheme」as an understandable reaction to the poor quality of a situation no matter what meat is throbbing. Actually, CLOTH WRAPPED AROUND A HEAD as a bandage, dressing, or poultice while treating a serious throbbing infection of the glans meat.
　Modern elements depict a long「loincloth」that was wrapped and worn on some sort of head, with「goal, provide care, place that attracts eyes, experience.」Right element means「emission stench, cursing, blasphemous」and together with「loincloth」is the likely origin of the epithet「diaperhead」used in reference to people who have the habit of wearing loincloths wrapped around their head(s), such as is the habit of some so persuaded in various orders of Christian nuns, and various folks of other religious persuasions, or STD patients of course with the penile head wrapped by medical dressings.

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.
