The simple-form character 没 is a minor variant of the full-form character ​沒, replacing the old right-side component ​𠬛/​𣴬 (mò) with a shape like ​殳 (shū).
    Note: Today mainly 没 méi ‘not have, have no’ (as in 没​有 méiyǒu ‘not have; there is not; be without’); formerly 没/​沒(​𣴬) mò ‘sink/drown’.
    Note: In the simple form 没 the right-side component ​殳 conflates two old characters, formerly distinguished as ​殳(​𠬸​𠬛) mò ‘sink/drown’, vs. ​殳 shū ‘lance/stab/flail’.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of 没/​沒(​𣴬) mò ‘sink/drown’ combines ​氵(​水 shuǐ) ‘water’ (river), and ​殳(​𠬸​𠬛) mò ‘sink/drown’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. ​殳(​𠬸​𠬛).
    Note: ​殳(​𠬸​𠬛) mò ‘sink/drown’, in which the upper part is ​囘(​回) huí ‘vortex/whirlpool’, and the lower part ​又 yòu ‘hand’ (of the sinking/drowning man).
    Compare: ​殁(​𣨏​歿​歾) mò ‘to die’.
    “[没] To dive, while ​回 turning on one’s self, in order to ​又 get something under water, the head being below; ​入​水​有​所​取​也。​从​又​在​回​下。​会​意。By extension, to disappear, to be no more” —Wieger.
    Compare: ​沿 yán ‘flow down/along’.
