…or: NECESSARY, DRIPPING FROM ORIFICE with LOITERING, PURPOSELESS MOTION and REPEAT, DO IT AGAIN, HEAD of PERSON PROSTRATE with HAVING A REASON TO DO SOMETHING with HEAD in CROTCH, SPREAD FOOT BESIDE EACH EAR

Top element of「something of value, necessary and essential, dripping orifice」with lower element of「repeat, do again, going and retracing steps.」Internal elements of「retrace steps, flip over and do it again prostrated with tonguing mouth and spread feet, inverted」while extending both feet in the air over your head or beside your ears. Together, these sets of elements depict OVERTURN, meaning to TURN SOMETHING (or someone) OVER AND USE AGAIN. The 'lather, rinse, repeat' sort of action with a service provider.
　Perhaps the Chinese pronunciation (displayed here in Japanese katakana 'fuku') is a possible source of the English word「fuck, fucked.」

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 cover; to overflow; to overturn; to capsize; variant of 復|复; to reply to a letter
Japanese: cover, mantle, shroud, hood, to cover, to hide, to conceal, to wrap, to disguise, to overturn, to upset, to overthrow, to undermine, to topple over, to be overturned, to capsize, to be overruled, to be reversed, to be discredited
Unihan extended: cover; tip over; return; reply
EDRDG: capsize; cover; shade; mantle; be ruined

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.
