Meanings of elements

SEVER IN HALF
…or: INCOMPLETE REAMING
…or: REAMING and WORK-IN-PROGRESS

「Cutting into two halves」perhaps indicating an animal (such as a bird 鵥) cut open for DISSECTION, to be ANALYZED for increasing UNDERSTANDING, so that a JUDGEMENT can be determined of its edibility or degree of rankness, mostly by sniffing the odor at that point.
「Incomplete reaming, work-in-progress」and「stance spurting with needle full and reaming」describes PASSING A SENTENCE, forming a JUDGEMENT after an ANALYSIS that medical treatments are still needed, treatment is「in process reaming」but not yet complete, additional visits to the clinic are necessary, with「erection or rod emissions from reaming multiple times」to be ANALYZED (one's 'bird' 鵥).
The SIZES OF PAPER meaning is derived from the method of literally「cutting in half」a larger size of paper to create the next-smaller size. For example, a sheet of ISO A, B or C sized paper cut in half yields the next size of paper. A0 size being 1 square meter, B0 size being an area equal to the square root of 2 meters, and C0 being proportionally between the A and B sizes. A0 cut in half is the A1 size, A1 halved is A2 size, A2 cut in half is A3, that sheet cut in half again yields A4, and so on until A10, B10, or C10 size.
The ENGRAVED SEAL meaning perhaps is related to the red, bloody mess created when cutting an animal in half or bougie reaming a sick pecker, as the ENGRAVED SEAL and the red inked stamp pads can produce a red, bloody-looking mess after use. Today, each party to a contract presses their personal seal (chop) over the crack where pages of a contract have been joined, with the seal「cut in half」by the seam, one-half of the red imprint on one page, and the other one-half on the backside of the previous page, making it nearly impossible to replace a page with altered text.

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.
