Meanings of elements

UNAVOIDABLE PAST CIRCUMSTANCES, THEREFORE FOR THAT REASON, CAUSALITY with SURROUNDING EDGE OF STANDING ERECTION
…or: STARTING POINT of COERCIVE FORCE, INCITING ACTION, PROSTRATE and WHACKING
…or: STARTING POINT of COERCION, FORCED, INCITING ROD HEAD STROKING ACTION

「Intentionally surrounding the edge of standing erection with cause」as THREATENING with a knife blade, teeth, scissors and so on. Putting it rather bluntly, this glyph depicts who or what is appropriate for「whacking」and other actions: the ENEMY. Or that if you now have an ENEMY, the「starting point with more to follow」was likely some sort of「coercion, smacking.」Other interpretations as「legitimate wife beating」or「forcing a foot」or「coercing a fundament」remain for your imagination, nevertheless the referents to「erection in fundament with spread legs」suggests despoiling a defeated enemy corpse with actions similar to having one's way with a spouse.
Here is a good example of the same thing in English as with kanji glyphs. How many English speakers know that "fundamental" is the adjectival form of "fundament"? Even more fundamental than that are the questions of what is a fundament, and can you get along without one? That is exactly WHY a fundament was selected to represent the meaning of "fundamental." But, who thinks of that when the word "fundamentally" is used (as basic and essential as a fundament)? Probably, only those without one.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: enemy; match; to resist; to withstand
Japanese EDRDG: enemy, foe, opponent
Unihan extended: enemy, foe, rival; resist

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.
