A plant that enabled written communication to be transmitted more easily, encouraging the thought process.
　Leaves of the PAPER MULBERRY (as「tree with massive anal activity」構) have been used to wipe and clean human and other animal anal orifices since before the beginning:
　「The tree, with extra-large leaves, soft on one side, rough on the other, is also a common source of woodland toilet paper.」
　　[　https://www.eattheweeds.com/broussonetia-papyrifera-paper-chase-2/ 2014-12-16　]　
　After the wiping process, it is possible to「examine, investigate, consider, think about」what remains on the leaves, such as blood, infection symptoms and pus, parasitic worm parts or infestation eggs, and so on.
　Japanese washi, stiff and whitish, resembles dried ejaculate the morning after to a great degree, especially if an「old man tried with woody for a long time with extreme tensions and gasping」then fell asleep exhausted without the perfunctory clean-up.
　…or after wiping one's anus with these leaves, looking at the「screwing emissions that died of one's father」because inside there is where he ejaculated: making Japanese paper washi entails picking by hand brown flecks of mulberry bark from within long whitish stringy strands.

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)

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.
