From 艹(草 cǎo) ‘grass’, () ‘sun’ and 大 (dà).
+
The character 莫 (10 strokes) is an abbrev. of the old form 𦶛 (16 strokes), replacing the top of the old component 𦬇(茻) with 艹(), and the bottom with .
The 日 sun fading away at the horizon, in the 艹大 plants (the bottom was originally also 艹(草 cǎo) ‘grass’, not 大 ‘big’). This meaning is preserved in the word 暮色 mùsè ‘twilight’ (莫 mò and 暮 are related).
+
Note: Today 莫 mò ‘nothing; not’; formerly 莫 mù ‘sunset/twilight/dusk’, later wr. 暮.
The similarity of 没 mò ‘disappear’ and 莫 mò ‘not exist’, must be coincidental — the old sounds were different: 没 *muet and *mak.

The Shuōwén Seal form of 莫(􀋨𦶛) mù ‘sunset/twilight/dusk’ (暮) combines ‘sun/light’ (setting), and 𦬇(􀋧茻𦬠) mǎng/mǔ ‘thick plants/brush’ (phonosemantic): the sun at sunset, setting into the brush/jungle; later wr. 暮 (暮色).
