Meanings of elements
EMISSIONS with PLANTED INTO SOIL
…or: TREE, STALK, WOODY and TRUE, PURE, QUINTESSENTIAL, SELF-CONTROL, PALMING ONESELF
The「head」part of a tree, or a piece that has broken off or been cut from a tree.「Tree of truth」or「plants for twisting fleshpot ingredients」or「the truth about woodies」that dictionaries and scholars claim mean the tops of a tree branches lopped off (「decapitation」) and then used as decorations, but not placed inside the fleshpot as ingredients. The same dictionaries claim that this glyph represents a certain variety of pine tree, the JUNIPER, a plant with strong-tasting, flavorful berries that will effectively MASK THE FOUL TASTE of other foods when added to the brew, such as that of slightly spoiled meat…and the crushed berries can effectively MASK A FOUL ODOR. Note that the British upper class distillery proprietors used juniper berries formerly as an ingredient to the distilled spirit called「gin」to cover the foul taste of the cheaper, blue colored distillate that was sold to the lower classes. The sapphire blue color was due to containing a large amount of toxic aldehydes, or to express it another way, a slow death. Mint jelly spread on mutton or lamb is another attempt to mask flavor in the same vein as making gin, with mint and juniper berries both「plants that kill the taste.」
 「Truth with woody」is that a breath mint or two afterwards might kill the taste or an acquired foul breath odor, and in the old days that meant munching on juniper berries, perhaps.

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: yew plum pine
Unihan extended: a twig; an ornamental evergreen
EDRDG: twig; ornamental evergreen

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.
