Meanings of elements

WOODY and LOWEST RANK, A PAWN, COME TO THE END, DIE, TO FINISH

「Wood or woody, palming and screwing, passing through a gap」(see related glyph 枠) that is listed as 'fitting a handle into a socket,' which translates literally into a 'piece of wood fitting into an opening that forms as the holder for something'…Japanese equivalent glyph (枠) is defined as a frame, border, box, limit, restriction, quota, all of which indicates that wood in inserted into some sort of hole or cavity, as is the case with a BUNG, CORK, PLUG. Chinese source definition might make more sense if it were「to fit something into the socket of a wood handle」such as a chisel or other tool, but that is the opposite of the listed definition and not the intended meaning, apparently. So,「wood fitting into an opening that forms as the holder for something」certainly seems to suggest placing the wood inside a hole, and not placing something into a hole in wood. Nevertheless,「woody of the lowest rank」suggests a very sick appendage, into which a bougie may very well have been inserted to remove the plug, cork, blockage of scar tissue, as does「woody with die, come to the end.」See related glyphs for some comparisons.

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 fit a handle into a socket; a plug or cork
Unihan extended: to fit a handle into a socket; a plug or cork
EDRDG: to fit a handle into a socket; plug; cork

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.
