## Chinese
### Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 受 :
| Shang | Western Zhou | Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) | Liushutong (compiled in Ming) |
| Oracle bone script | Bronze inscriptions | Small seal script | Transcribed ancient scripts |
| | Old Chinese |
| 受 | *tuːs, *djuʔ |
| 綬 | *djuʔ, *djus |
| 授 | *djus |
Possibly a ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 爪 (“hand”) + 凡 (“plate”) + 又 (“hand”) – to hand over.
凡 in the middle was corrupted into 舟 (OC *tjɯw), which acted as a phonetic component. Alternatively, the character may have always been a phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *tuːs, *djuʔ): semantic 爪 (“hand”) + phonetic 舟 (OC *tjɯw, “boat”) + semantic 又 (“hand”). The 凡 or 舟 has been simplified to 冖 since the seal script.

### Etymology 1
#### “bottom; uke”

    Orthographic borrowing from Japanese 受(う)け (uke).
