Meanings of elements

FIRE of SMOKY SIGNAL FIRE, FUEL FOR MEAT SACRIFICE

「Fires」of「fire on horizon, seen widely」meaning a smoky signal fire that burns wet, green wood here refers to burning live brush, either as an agricultural practice or a spreading BRUSHFIRE. Also means SINGE since green wood in a drought might easily be consumed on the surface and leaves, but not the entire stem that is still green, leaving the plant SINGED. A fire or LIGHT SEEN FROM AFAR (due to the widespread range of a brushfire). Burning with much smoke seen far away also led to the meaning of a SIGNAL FIRE, such as a bonfire atop a hill.
Sometimes outsiders from afar can see within family relationships better than those directly involved, or who falsely believe others are unaware of the truth of matters. Easily burned, big flames, where there is smoke there is fire, and so on.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: to singe; to burn; to set afire
Japanese EDRDG: burn, bonfire
Unihan extended: to burn, set afire; to illuminate; a signal lamp

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.
