Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 紐
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts
Characters in the same phonetic series (丑) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
峱 *nuː
紐 *nuʔ
扭 *nuʔ, *tnuʔ
狃 *nuʔ, *nus
鈕 *nuʔ
忸 *nuʔ, *nuɡ
杻 *nuʔ, *n̥ʰuʔ
莥 *nuʔ
羞 *snu
丑 *n̥ʰuʔ
沑 *njuʔ, *nuɡ
粈 *njuʔ
衄 *nuɡ, *njuɡ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *nuʔ): semantic 糸 (“silk”) + phonetic 丑 (OC *n̥ʰuʔ) – a handle. However, the phonetic component indicates either an animal claw or a hand, hence it adds part of the meaning.

Etymology

Possibly from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-na ~ s-naːr (“nose”); see there for more discussion.
