ugly, unclean, shame, bad looking
醜 centers on a strong negative judgment of appearance or condition: something ugly, unclean, or shameful. The meanings connect through the idea of being unpleasant to look at or morally repulsive.
醜 combines 酉 (wine vessel) and 鬼 (demon, spirit). The traditional explanation is that excessive drinking leads to ugly, shameful behavior, linking the wine vessel to the demon-like appearance.
A wine vessel 酉 beside a demon 鬼: imagine someone drinking too much and turning into an ugly, shameful mess, like a demon.
For シュウ, picture a shoe (シュウ) that is so ugly and unclean that it looks like a demon stomped on a wine vessel. The shoe's ugliness cues シュウ.
