搊 centers on the action of plucking, especially with the fingers, as in plucking a string or pulling something out.

搊 combines 扌 (hand) with 芻, which likely contributes the sound and relates to the action of plucking or pulling with the hand.

The hand radical 扌 beside 芻 suggests fingers plucking at something, like a hand pulling a string or a feather.

For シュウ, imagine a hand plucking a shoe off a foot: shoe -> シュウ, and the hand plucks it away.
