「Pacify a female」or perhaps more accurately,「pacified with female.」Left element formerly depicted a woman as a shaman, and was comprised of an element meaning「pierced, penetrated vulva」(婁) that now is represented by what looks like「puckered anus, jism splat」as a simplification of being a sexual services provider. Right element of「prone with whacking or stroking motions」but this time using a writing tool and COUNTING the NUMBER of sessions a client accessed different service providers, or timing each session, both needed for billing purposes and managerial data of employees, causing shamans to become the first accountants in order to maintain a register of transaction records.
　「Caked, female with jism, and prostrate with whacking」surely seems to describe a service provider lying on her back with no-longer-integrated feet in repeated use, COUNTING the NUMBER of clients in a session prior to scrubbing down her torso and lower body.
　Scholars say the elements are woman using rice grains to count chants while waving a stick overhead (?).

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.
