discussion, methods called for, selection, result
詮 centers on the process of examining and settling a matter: discussing to reach a conclusion, selecting the right method, and arriving at a result.
詮 combines 言 (words, speech) with 全 (complete, whole), suggesting thorough discussion or complete examination through words. The exact historical development is uncertain, but the component relationship is plausible.
Words (言) are used to make something complete (全): imagine a group discussing every angle until they reach a full, clear result.
For セン, picture a centipede (セン) crawling over a discussion table, its many legs representing the thorough, complete examination of every detail.
