Both left and right elements refer to the long cloths used to bind the no-longer-integrated feet of females (匕 so popular in dynastic China), a strong and coarsely woven cloth made of fibers of jute, flax, or hemp. Perhaps depicting the clothes of a person being interrogated, forced to wear while the interrogators were making demands and preparing him to be hanged with a noose.「Cloths, clothes」with「beg for mercy, scream until hoarse or dead」as clothing that causes one to scream (whether being interrogated or not), BURLAP and also the color of burlap, DARK BROWN, a CAUSE OF IRRITATION. English 'burlap' of course is derived from 'coarse cloth with burrs in your lap area,' a cautionary warning to remove the cloths from no-longer-integrated feet prior to use on one's privates. Right element style varies depending upon the font used for display.
「Emphasis on display while begging for mercy」as a BROWN WOOL-LIKE COVERING after the appearance of copious vaginal froth on the surrounding fringes of the vaginal labia and (if any) the penis, that becomes brown after continuing into or following the anal orifice, forming a slick foam covering and a potential CAUSE OF IRRITATION.

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.
