The meaning tree is especially helpful for seeing how word meanings evolved over time. They also cite a reference for this work:

王力 主編，2000《王力古漢語字典》，北京：中華書局，2007年重印。p. 189

The reference might have more of the same if that is what you are looking for.
To answer your other question: 男 is very rarely used as a character component; if something were related to men, you’d more than likely see a 亻component instead. ⿰亻夭 does have its own character: 仸.
