Meanings of elements
HEAD AND NECK, DANGER inside SPREAD LEGS, COPULATING or CAPTURED, and BIG TWO HANDS
「Skin slit, wrap」or「head and neck, in tension gasping」with「captured person」or「copulation」or「person inside spread legs」(varies with font) and「big, two hands.」This glyph is normally associated with either CHILDBIRTH (the cervix and vagina must enlarge and become「big」to allow the infant's head and neck in tension to pass) or PROSTITUTION (the「head and neck」of a「person, erection taut」), since the vagina enlarges with time and use, whether desired or not, and note that「squatting legs and two big hands between someone else's spread legs with a skin slit」does imply PROSTITUTING ONESELF at least a little, or, refers to a midwife. Also means MANY CHILDREN as in「two hands needed to hand off the babies」that seemed to emerge so often before the days of reliable prophylactics. Later due to all the many progeny, or due to all the working ladies living together in the same house, this glyph came to mean LARGE HOUSE. Traditional fonts use the「captured person」element, referring to both the prostitute and the client who has been hooked…and perhaps the as-yet undelivered infant.
 NUMEROUS, EXCELLENT, and BRILLIANT all seem associated with the idea of raising revenue by marketing short-term rentals for sex.

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: excellent
Unihan extended: be numerous, brilliant
EDRDG: clear; bright

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.
