Meanings of elements
TEARS, SYMPATHY, WEEPING, FLUID WITH A GOAL and HORIZONTAL, AN ARRAY, RECIPROCATING MOTION HORIZONTALLY and EMIT DOWNWARD SPLASHING
…or: ONE and REACH THE POINT WHEN…, UNTIL, SOUPY, SOAKED with DOWNWARD SPLASHING
…or: FLUIDS with HEAD FACE DOWNWARD, COGITATE
…or: ARRAY of SOUPY SOAKING EMISSIONS
「Cogitate, think deeply about something a long time, ponder, meditate upon, head looking down」at「flowing fluids.」…and「array of soupy, soaking schmutz emissions」「array of sobbing tears with emphasis on emissions」simply do not describe 'washing one's face' as the given external meanings would have us believe.
Washing when infected, and washing after sexual contact in order to mitigate the spread of disease and infection as an inviolate law, INVARIABLY, CERTAINLY, WITHOUT FAIL. Contrary to the Unihan definition, this glyph was not erroneously borrowed for A MUST, NECESSARY, but instead WASHING THE HEAD AND NECK in one's groin,「flowing water while looking downward」after visiting a service provider that became MANDATORY and REGULATED by government officials if not simple common sense in order to prevent the spread of infection. Ever wonder why 心 (spewing appendage, bent penis) is carved into every washing basin at the entrances and exits of shrines and temples in Japan? see 必…it was not because「one's heart」needed ritual purifying, as the story is told today firmly in denial of historical fact. It was because genitals actually must be physically washed 'religiously' to avoid disease and infection transmission before and after visiting the shrine and temple prostitutes who provided services at these locations.
Washing one's face may be proper etiquette and good manners, but it was hardly a necessity thousands of years ago, which is why the Unihan folks who have lost many of the original meanings of these elements now believe this glyph must have been used in error: see 須 and 頮.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Japanese EDRDG: wash face
Unihan extended: wash face; erroneously borrowed for DKW 43352 'necessary, must'

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. 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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they 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 lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
