I think I misunderstood what "remnant" was. These are entire components, they just don't look like the original, so there are no remnants here as far as I understand now.

Basically paraphrased 《說文新證》rather than trust 漢語多功能字庫's interpretation of it being a man climbing a tree. I don't know how this was "to dawdle" before. Made me confuse it with 夋 in my flashcards. This has components identified but no etymology or role for the components.

Didn't actually find much info, besides the original meaning and the phonosemantic composition.

Changed explanation, I think this makes more sense based on the strong compatibility between the phonetics 射 and 睪

Maybe this character should not have any component breakdown at all since it's considered to be a corrupted remnant of old forms of 睪, but there are other characters here with phonetic components marked that were produced as a result of phoneticization of a remnant. I'm still looking for better sources on how exactly this differentiated from its origin.

The Shuowen says the meaning was originally written 辠 before 罪 started being used in its place.
