Canines during copulation also might explain a PROFOUND and INTENSE, DEEP, EXTREME experience (究).
A「flow」that is「more than needed or natural」for「plants, trees」might result in thick vegetation growth up to a certain point, but a water flow that is strong enough to bury「plants in a hole, trapping trees」would more than likely be a disaster of some proportion. Recall as well that most plants and trees do not grow well or for very long when planted deep within a well, or pit, or a hole, so the glyph is not likely depicting that condition.
Some suggest elements as「flow」from「laughing cannabis herbs」referring to a「superfluous amount」of smoke「trapped within a pit hole」(蒸) to INTENSIFY it, describing a sort of purple haze that formed a DEEP, THICK atmosphere of PROFOUND INTENSITY. Related glyph indicates the original elements of「within roofed pit cavity is cannabis」(穼) to depict someone not up for a road trip in the near term. Within the caverns, and inside pit hole homes prior to the invention of window vents, the atmosphere whilst stoking herb fires would necessarily become filled with DEEP and THICK smoke, creating a PROFOUND and INTENSE experience (燥).
Scholars explain this as water surrounding not walking legs up a tree, which refers to someone attempting to escape from some occasional heavy flooding (…?).

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.
