shū

to express

to give expression to; variant of 紓|纾[shu1]; to relieve

give (予) + hand sound (扌) = express and give out feelings

予 means 'to give,' and here it carries the semantic weight: expression is the act of giving out what is inside you. 扌 mainly contributes the sound shū; the giving sense of 予 points to the meaning.
