impart, instruct, grant, confer
授 centers on the act of giving something valuable from one person to another: imparting knowledge, granting a right, or conferring an honor.
授 combines 扌 (hand) with 受 (receive), suggesting a hand giving something to another who receives it. The modern form preserves this clear component relationship.
A hand 扌 passes something to another hand 受: one person imparts, the other receives. Together they show the act of granting or conferring.
For ジュ, imagine a teacher handing a jewel to a student: jewel -> ジュ, and the hand imparts the precious knowledge.
