Meanings of elements

SEDUCTION, TRAP, HOOKED, CORRALLED and FORCE, POWER, STRENGTH, EFFORT

Perhaps, working diligently to escape or to free oneself after being snagged, corralled, hooked, seduced into something. But more likely refers to the efforts of the seducer (or, all the parties): working diligently「efforts reaming orifice with head and neck wrapped」after being seduced, or seducing another. What do most male and female animals of any species toil doing any more than「seduction efforts」for most of life? the males gather harems of females, and the females watch the males battle for harems, ad infinitum.

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: labor
Unihan extended: be diligent, toil, endeavor
EDRDG: become tired; work busily

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.
