Rats and mice are quite shy animals, and in the wild will immediately RUN AWAY for cover into a burrow. Rats also EDIT and REVISE the knowledge learned previously:
　「A 2007 study found rats to possess metacognition, a mental ability previously only documented in humans and some primates.」
　　[　https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat 2013-09-08　]　
　「Metacognition is defined as 'cognition about cognition,' or 'knowing about knowing.' It can take many forms. It includes knowledge about when and how to use particular strategies for learning or for problem solving.」
　　[　https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacognition 2013-09-08　]　
　A SCUTTLE is the cover of a hatchway on a ship, the「door over a hole」from which rats will FLEE a sinking ship that has been scuttled, as the saying goes in English (from this glyph as the source?). This English idiom formerly applied to a house or building about to collapse, a「RAT HOLE」as it were and these elements depict from dynastic China, noting that the rats are ABANDONING, DESERTING their hole, and not scurrying down into it, in this case.

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: to flee; to scuttle; to exile or banish; to amend or edit
Japanese: to exile, to banish, to revise the wording of a phrase
Unihan extended: run away; revise, edit; expel
EDRDG: flee

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.
