sleeve, wing (building), extension, give cold shoulder
袖 centers on the sleeve of a garment, and by extension anything that projects outward like a sleeve: a building wing, an extension, or the gesture of turning away (giving the cold shoulder) as if hiding one's hands in sleeves.
袖 combines the clothing radical 衤 with 由, which likely contributes the sound. The character originally referred to the sleeve of a garment.
The clothing radical 衤 on the left and 由 on the right look like a garment with a tube-like sleeve extending out. Picture a kimono sleeve hanging down.
For シュウ, imagine a shoe hidden inside a long sleeve: shoe -> シュウ, and the sleeve conceals it.
