Meanings of elements

PROPER ETIQUETTE with HEAD DAMMED and DROPS FLYING
…or: DISPLAY of SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES

「Display」depicting something「necessary, inevitable」such as a surgical procedure: penectomies performed to staunch one way or another the spread of sexually transmissible diseases among innocent ewes and children or not-as-innocent adult humans, something that most males and religious folks would thereafter CONCEAL, be kept SECRET and HIDDEN. Note that the modern left element is a full「head of grain」(秘) that cannot possibly stand erect, and also「gonorrhea」with「sex disease, head of penis spewing」that needs no explanation.「Display inevitable」perhaps is referring to other body parts eventually falling off that cannot be concealed, such as the nose or ears, due to the syphilitic infection that will telltale-like finally announce to everyone the illness.
「Altar, religion and necessary, inevitable」describes the need for religions generally to remain ABSTRUSE, DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND for all concerned, in order to propagate the mysteries and assure the leaders of a continued job and/or revenue stream.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. 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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they 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 lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
