Meanings of elements
COOPERATIVE, COOPERATING, PILED IN LAYERS with TONGUING ACTIONS, TONGUING SOMETHING IN A MOUTH, SPEAK, SAY, HAVING A REASON TO DO SOMETHING, PRETENDING, A PRETEXT, EXCUSE GIVEN TO HIDE THE TRUE REASON FOR SOMETHING
…or: PILED ON and DAY
…or: many people FOLLOWING SUBMISSIVELY PASSING THROUGH A GAP, TO OBEY, ENGAGE IN ACTIONS JOINING AN ACCESSORY with TONGUING SOMETHING IN A MOUTH, SPEAK, SAY, HAVING A REASON TO DO SOMETHING, PRETENDING, A PRETEXT, EXCUSE GIVEN TO HIDE THE TRUE REASON FOR SOMETHING
Old original glyph depicts a「meat pile, obedient accessories submissively piling on with tonguing mouths」(㫺). Or as the elements,「dual upward thrusting in cooperation」over「tongue in mouth, tonguing」perhaps to indicate the good OLD DAYS, LONG AGO before becoming a frail old man, when bonobo-like orgies and swapping were done in the heyday of youth.「Cooperative tonguing mouth」may refer to the good OLD DAYS, LONG AGO when one was first married, a newlywed.
　In the original form of this glyph (㫺), it is no coincidence that the internal elements for「meat」(肉) are also used to mean「multiple」humans piled on top of one another that combine also as「obedient service providers (从) with tonguing mouths」perhaps to indicate the good OLD DAYS, LONG AGO before foot-dis-integrating came into vogue (glyph contains no no-longer-integrated foot elements).

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: former times; the past
Japanese: olden days, former, long ago, once upon a time, old-fashioned way of thinking, old-fashioned spirit, the way it was, the way it used be, as of old, in former times
Unihan extended: formerly; ancient; in beginning
EDRDG: once upon a time; antiquity; old times

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.
