Meanings of elements

MEASURED DISTANCE BETWEEN ONE'S THUMB AND MIDDLE FINGER and BRAGGART, CHUTZPAH
…or: IN-LINE UNIT OF LENGTH, LINE OF TAUT BUTTOCKS EVENLY SPACED AND SHACKLED, PRISONERS AND/OR SLAVES and ON THE VERGE, ON THE EDGE
…or: TAUT BUTTOCKS with FEUDAL LORD BRAGGART, HUSBAND, BROTHEL CLIENT, FEMALE ROLE AT DAWN, DAWNING, AN AWAKENING

「Leashed or taut genitals, after dawn to the edge」suggests the daylight, during the day. Dictionaries explain that the source glyph in this case was not「keeping watch」(睪) as it was for most other 尺 elements, but the point becomes moot after understanding that 睪 refers also to a cloth netting bound over the groin region for keeping watch over the amount and type of involuntary emissions during the time of an infection. Instead, they say that「leashed, taut genitals」replaced「hand holding a rod or shaft with turgid-flaccid」that means「again and again, time and again」(聿) perhaps as the DAYLIGHT HOURS when not asleep, or, a reference to each day. Cloth wrappings known as loincloths were handy to prevent snagging one's scrotum or foreskin on a bush or branch and are still worn by many bushmen today for this same reason, but loincloths are not as necessary in the cavern throughout the night as males would rather roam about with a free willy, 'going commando' as the preferred style.
　So, with the top element formerly as a「hand holding a rod or shaft with two states of turgid and flaccid」(聿) meaning「again and again and again」above「on the verge while being fellated」perhaps as how the males spent the remainder of their NOON lunch break while out hunting and away from the girls (or that meaning was added later). The duration of time from sunrise to sunset, and this glyph now refers to the DAYLIGHT period.「Measured distance」perhaps applies to the daylight hours on a CLOCK FACE or a SUNDIAL initially, an invention that loses some effectiveness most evenings and so can only be used during the DAYLIGHT HOURS.

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: daytime
Japanese: noon, midday, daytime, lunch, just past noon, afternoon, midday meal
Unihan extended: daytime, daylight
EDRDG: daytime; noon

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.
