Glyph origin
| Characters in the same phonetic series (受) (Zhengzhang, 2003) | |
|---|---|
| Old Chinese | |
| 受 | *tuːs, *djuʔ |
| 綬 | *djuʔ, *djus |
| 授 | *djus |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *djus) : semantic 手 (“hand”) + phonetic 受 (OC *tuːs, *djuʔ).
There are actually three “hands” in this character, as 爫 also means “hand”. As does 又 graphically.
Etymology
Derived from 受 (OC *djuʔ, “to accept”).
