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／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”).
