Glyph origin

edit
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
       
Characters in the same phonetic series (受) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
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.
