Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
BUTTOCKS, EXCREMENT, SQUATTING and REPEAT, RECOVER AND DO IT AGAIN, RESUME THE SAME ACTION AS BEFORE, GO AND RETURN BY RETRACING STEPS, RETURN TO AN ORIGINAL STATE OR CONDITION, REVERT, RESTORE
…or: EXCRETION with the HEAD of PERSON and PROSTRATE with ROD in ORIFICE HAVING A REASON TO DO SOMETHING with CROTCH HEAD, SPREAD FEET
「Buttocks」with「loitering, aimless motions and returning, repeating the same actions」perhaps to indicate a repeat performance. Meaning to HANG A REAMING TOOL, SWORD at waist-level as if the weapon or sword is likened to an erection in the buttocks. In Chinese, TREAD as in VIGOROUSLY USING BOTH FEET (as a client might with the two no-longer-integrated feet of a service provider) REPEATEDLY POUNDING ONE OR BOTH FEET. As the TREAD of a tractor that repeatedly rolls a belt of heavy metal plates in a loop over the ground.
 Putting something on by ATTACHING TO FEET or ATTACHING BELOW ONE'S WAIST (buttocks or below), such as, putting on trousers or shoes, in the sense of a repeated action by treading the feet (first one leg, then the other). Note that the internal element of「going to repeat an action」is literally「motions while prone and tonguing mouth with feet inverted」as if lying on your back in bed while extending both feet upward, enabling you to put on your trousers (or, to remove them). Some scholars say that formerly with「corpse, buttocks」the glyph had the meaning of the「clomping and walking dead, a zombie, dragging one's ass.」Then again, the whole glyph may be referring to a psychological addiction to necrophilia.

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: shoe; to tread on
Japanese: shoes, footwear, to put on lower-body clothing, to put on footwear, to affix a sword to one's hip, to affix a bowstring to a bow, to step on, to tread on, to experience, to undergo, to estimate, to value, to appraise, to rhyme, to inherit, to follow
Unihan extended: footwear, shoes; walk on, tread
EDRDG: footgear; shoes; boots; put on (the feet)

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.
