Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (丑) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 

	Old Chinese
峱	*nuː
紐	*nuʔ
扭	*nuʔ, *tnuʔ
狃	*nuʔ, *nus
鈕	*nuʔ
忸	*nuʔ, *nuɡ
杻	*nuʔ, *n̥ʰuʔ
莥	*nuʔ
羞	*snu
丑	*n̥ʰuʔ
沑	*njuʔ, *nuɡ
粈	*njuʔ
衄	*nuɡ, *njuɡ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *nuʔ, *n̥ʰuʔ) : semantic 木 (“tree”) + phonetic 丑 (OC *n̥ʰuʔ) – wooden manacles or handcuffs. However, the phonetic component indicates either a hand or an animal claw, hence it adds part of the meaning.
