Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
EMERGING SHAFTS, STALKS, STEMS and SIMILAR, ALIKE, UNIFORMITY, IN ORDER, IN UNISON, ALL TOGETHER, SIMULTANEOUS, CONSISTING OF EQUAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Elements individually as「plant, shafts emerging」with「all of equal length, simultaneously」and that length may be the depth of the water. The fruit of this plant is somewhat diamond shaped. Related glyph of「plant」with「pass over, traverse」perhaps describes the manner in which the leaves of this aquaculture plant traverse, pass over the surface of the water being held up from beneath, or, the manner in which trematode flukes (intestinal worms) causing fasciolopsiasis are passed over simultaneously to infect a new host when the fruits are eaten raw or undercooked (always eat your worms fully cooked).「…[T]he larval flukes leave their water snail hosts, and swim away to form cysts on the surfaces of water plants, including the leaves and fruit of water caltrops. If infected water plants are consumed raw or undercooked, the flukes can infect pigs, humans and other animals.」
  [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_caltrop 2013-04-26 ] 
 The RHOMBUS or DIAMOND SHAPE can be derived by picturing one service provider lying on her backside entertaining two clients simultaneously, one with each of her no-longer-integrated feet…the four sides of a rhombus shape would be created by her two legs bent at the knees, being worked by「emerging shafts」with「twisting screwing crotch, skilled technique, held up from beneath.」

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: water chestnut; see 薺菜|荠菜
Japanese: shepherd's purse
Unihan extended: water-chestnuts; caltrop
EDRDG: water-chestnuts; caltrop

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.
