The Shuōwén Seal form of 侵(​􁗚) qīn ‘encroach upon (little by little), invade’ combines ​(​ rén) ‘person’, with ​(​􁔣) zhǒu ‘broom’, over ​ yòu ‘hand/hold’: to sweep (attend to) the property of (territory held by) another, to gradually appropriate (what one tends carefully, as one's own dear thing).
    Compare: ​/​(​􂉔) fù ‘woman/wife’, in which the right-side full-form component is ​, abbrev. to its top part ​ in the simple form ​.
    Note: In the modern form 侵, the old right-side components (⿱​) are abbrev. to ​𠬶 (a component, not an independent character).
    Note: 侵 qīn ‘encroach upon (little by little); invade; humiliate; injure; crime; to/near; enter/seep into; cover; corrode/erode; pass/elapse; shine; quick; grave (illness); famine/fallow year; etc.’ (HDZ).
    Compare: ​(​􁸏) jìn ‘gradually’ (​), in which the old right-side component ​𡩠(​􁏗􁏖𡪢), old var. of ​/​(​􁐯) qǐn, is abbrev. to ​𠬶.
    Compare: ​ qìn ‘(river name); seep into, permeate; irrigate/moisten; etc.’ (HDZ); cf. ​.
