(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The simple-form character ​ is a minor variant of the full-form character 沒, replacing the old right-side component ​𠬛/​𣴬 (mò) with a shape like ​ (shū).
    Note: Today mainly ​ méi ‘not have, have no’ (as in ​ méiyǒu ‘not have; there is not; be without’); formerly ​/沒(​􁻫𣴬) mò ‘sink/drown’.
    Note: In the simple form ​ the right-side component ​ conflates two old characters, formerly distinguished as ​(​􀠬𠬸𠬛) mò ‘sink/drown’, vs. ​(​􀡜) shū ‘lance/stab/flail’.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​/沒(​􁻫𣴬) mò ‘sink/drown’ combines ​(​ shuǐ) ‘water’ (river), and ​(​􀠬𠬸𠬛) mò ‘sink/drown’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. ​(​􀠬𠬸𠬛).
    Note: ​(​􀠬𠬸𠬛) mò ‘sink/drown’, in which the upper part is ​(​􁃷􁃶) huí ‘vortex/whirlpool’, and the lower part ​(​􀠋) yòu ‘hand’ (of the sinking/drowning man).
    Compare: ​(​􀫨𣨏歿􀫧) mò ‘to die’.
    “[​] To dive, while ​ turning on one’s self, in order to ​(​􀠋) get something under water, the head being below; ​。​。​。By extension, to disappear, to be no more” —Wieger.
    Compare: ​沿(​􁻙) yán ‘flow down/along’.
