Meanings of elements

Some scholars say the top-left element was a「wheel hub, axle」that was extended on each side (the Romans used this same engineering for war chariots) as a「weapon, tool」for mowing down soldiers of the opposing army, or any army actually, if the person stood in the path of the axle. Later, they say the element morphed from a round orifice hub to「mountain-like shape, glans surrounded by foreskin」(擊) when large bladed spurs were added to the extended axle, designed to SMITE and chop the enemy soldiers into large chunks as the vehicles sped past, or at least hack up their groin and legs a bit, giving the foot soldiers running behind the vehicle somewhat of an advantage in the ensuing hand-to-hand combat (scholars say that only「cart」remains from the old top-left element). These large blades whirled around as the wheels revolved, making whacking sounds in the air and against the flesh of enemy combatants in much the same way as repeated pounding of「stretched skin in crotch being whacked by hand.」
　Other scholars say the top element depicted a「cart with a bent or broken wheel」repeatedly striking against the side of the cart as it turned each time the wheel rotated and「hand」was added below to represent the same action by hand, repeated striking with a weapon or firing a gun…the「boom,…boom,…boom」as the wheel turned 'round and 'round in much the same way as repeated pounding of「stretched skin in crotch being whacked by hand」but might also have simply been the driver tapping the side of the cart and keeping time to some music playing in his head, or, whacking off himself to pass the time. Actually, such an annoying, disabled vehicle would not operate for long, so this explanation is doubtful.
　Most likely, considering the ancestors of modern humanity, and after considering modern humanity, the glyph represents some sort of group or tribal autoerotic pleasure circle of both sexes, since the original glyph per the scholars included both「orifice for plugging」and「glans, emerging penis」elements with「whacking tight crotch skin by hand…」Nevertheless, modern Japanese sources do not adhere to the Chinese meaning of BEING BEATEN as EXCITEMENT, but instead refer to BEING BEATEN as DEFEAT.

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)
Chinese: Japanese variant of 擊|击
Japanese: to shoot, to attack, to defeat, to destroy, to avenge, to be struck, to be beaten
Unihan extended: strike, hit, beat; attack, fight
EDRDG: beat; attack; defeat; conquer

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.
