One of the oldest tools first invented by humans, the SICKLE, even prior to the discovery of any metals. Formed from animal shoulder blades, sheep horns, deer jawbones, and other inventions. Discovered by archeologists dating from the pre-Stone Age Epipaleolithic era, these hand-held tools with a serrated edge (literally, animal teeth in many cases) soon became covered with a green pasty odiferous substance formed from mashing and sawing through the many shafts and stems of succulent plants being harvested or cut (curved, sharp metal blades were a much more recent improvement).
　In addition to the sickle's utmost utility, perhaps the right element is used due to the fully bending-over posture with a protruding buttocks needed to use early-designed sickles having short handles. In any case, most users likely were impressed with the utility of the tool, which at the time may have been the「utmost.」Later of course, the utmost invention became sliced bread, only recently surpassed by the phenomenon of 'social media' (a misnomer, to be sure).
　Note that various glyphs pronounced in Japanese as kama have been suggested as the referent to a male homosexual (缶, 构, 釜, or 銍), with these elements「ultimate, the utmost」「person with penis thrusting and spurts」as one possibility.

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.
