## Chinese
### Glyph origin

| | Old Chinese |
| 受 | *tuːs, *djuʔ |
| 綬 | *djuʔ, *djus |
| 授 | *djus |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, 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”).
