双

shuāng

two

surname Shuang; double; pair; both; even (number)

hand (又) + hand (又) = a pair, both hands

Two identical hand symbols side by side naturally evokes the idea of a matched pair. The doubling of the same glyph is itself the meaning — two of the same thing held together.

又+又→双
又The right handSemantic
