<WL>奄 [yǎn] cover; suddenly  [yān] (=阉) (=淹)

<WL>奄 [yǎn] (书) cover (cf. 罨/掩, 弇); capture; close/hide; (副词) suddenly@@; (HDZ:) …; (姓) 䣍 [yān] (=阉) (=淹)
From 大 (dà) ‘big’ and 电 =申 (shēn) ‘stretch’.
+
The Shuōwén Seal form of 奄(􁰎𡘹) yǎn ‘cover; encompass/occupy; lack/deficient (not intact, gelded)’ combines 大(􁰋) ‘big’ (man, with arms/legs spread wide), and 电(􂥻𦥔申) shēn ‘stretch/spread’ (a covering): that which covers is above, larger than the small thing below (which it covers); later wr. 掩(􂇸).
“申 to stretch something 大 large” —Karlgren.

Compare: 阉/閹(􂃤) yān ‘eunuch/castrate/emasculate’ (阉割, 阉/奄人); 掩(􂇸) yǎn ‘cover/conceal/evade; shut/close’; 淹(􁶵𣼜) yān ‘flood’.
Etymologically the same word as yǎn ‘cover’, and cognate with yān ‘flood’.
+
Note: 奄 yān ‘eunuch/castrate/emasculate’ (later wr. 阉/閹) suggests that the old graph 奄(􁰎𡘹) depicts human castration (去阴), with 电(􂥻𦥔申) for 坤 (☷, i.e. ⚋ 阴); cf. 斀/椓, 宫; 劁, 㓺, 劇, 線, 攻; 犍, 犗, 㹒, 牯; 騬; 羖/𦍩, 羠, 䍨, 䍮, 䍸, 䍽; 鏾.
