Right element was「pliable, flexible」(輭) formerly depicted by「beard big」(big beards really are soft) or「rotation of plugging orifice with pubic hairs having two hands underneath」as enough to SOFTEN anyone's moral resolve, perhaps with some quivering motions and a little whimpering or moaning, too most likely.
Japanese lists meaning of jujitsu, jiu-jitsu, jujutsu that today is mostly written as 柔術 or「gentle, soft techniques」and these glyphs also deserve to be investigated by individual element in detail for a full understanding of that art.
Modern right element of「gaping mouth, blowing」has replaced the soft, long beard, and it is also possible to SOFTEN up some females by a「rotation of blowing on her orifice(s) for plugging」although it is reported that a certain level of skill and experience is required for success, but a skill learned early in life by the ancient Chinese, no doubt.
Alternatively,「cart wheels rotating on gaping or bearded necks」will likely cause the victim to GO LIMP either sooner or later, and certainly the mere thought would do well to SOFTEN, MAKE PLIABLE the will of most peasants as royalty passed on by while enjoying the sport of kings, because if not, it was easy to find oneself down in the dirt alongside a wheel rut minus one's head (「shortened, decapitated, blowing hard as the blood pressure dissipates, gaping」and so on), after which your body will most certainly be LIMP, FLACCID, SOFT and PLIABLE as the royal carriage rolls along WOBBLY, MOVING BACK AND FORTH over the neck, at least until rigor mortis sets in or your cadaver is cooked.
While the following explanation is not suggested as a mnemonic, scholars explain this as wheel gap, wrapping grasses or reeds around the outside of the wheels on a cart to soften or cushion the ride as「bearded wheels」that created a「gap between the wheels」and the road surface (maybe so?).
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)

Japanese: soft, judo, jujutsu [jiu-jitsu, jiujutsu], tender, limp, subdued, gentle, meek, tenderness
Unihan extended: soft, flexible, pliable; weak

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.
