Meanings of elements
TALENT USING BOTH OF ONE'S HANDS TO ACCOMPLISH A TASK with FIRM GRASP, HOLD IN RESTRAINT, REACHING FOR SOMETHING, FULL INSERTION INTO CAVITY WITH TWO SETS OF LIPS and VERTICAL RECIPROCATING ROD MOTIONS with CROTCH ONCE AGAIN, ONE MORE TIME, THIS OR THAT, YIELDING FURTHER AND MORE
…or: ELDER, OLD PERSON, RELIEF, FEELING RELIEVED and USING BOTH HANDS TO ACCOMPLISH A TASK
SEARCH FOR, SEEK someone, or something:「hands used to accomplish a task」with「elderly person.」Perhaps elderly folks used to walk away and become lost often, so family needed to SEARCH, SEEK for them (this still occurs). Often elderly people become forgetful as dementia begins to take hold of the mind in advanced age, and they need to SEARCH, SEEK for misplaced items within the cave or pit hole home, such as eyeglasses, keys, mobile telephones, etc. Element combinations are also colorful reminders of the suggestion that someone is so afflicted with dementia that he must first piss in order to find his own penis. An alternative set of elements is suggestive of a SEARCH FOR, SEEKING for a misplaced dildo, or, uses that same dementia example but instead SEARCHING FOR, SEEKING the vagina as referent.

Japanese EDRDG: search, seek, investigate
Unihan extended: search, seek; investigate

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.
