Pictogram (象形) – a sugarcane with full leaves and stems, with a mouth under, the original character for either 煮 (OC *tjaʔ, “to boil”) or 蔗 (OC *tjaːɡs, “sugarcane”). Phonetically loaned for abstract meanings. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
Top component 耂 is unrelated to 老 and 考.
The variant form with an additional 丶 stroke below 耂 is influenced by Shuowen, which considered 白 as the bottom component of 者.

者 |
もの Grade: 3 |

Alternative spelling |

者 (kyūjitai) |
⟨mo2no2⟩ → /mono/
From Old Japanese. First attested in the Nihon Shoki of 720.[2] Theorized to derive from Proto-Japonic *mənə.
Cognate with 物 (mono, “thing”, physical as opposed to abstract).[2][3][4]
In ancient texts marked with pronunciation information, this character was always read as hito until around the late 800s, at which point the mono reading becomes prevalent.[2] The mono reading has historically often been used with mild pejorative overtones, as compared to the more neutral term 人 (hito).[2][3][4] This may suggest a broadening of the original “thing” sense for mono, which then was applied as a pejorative for a “person”.
