Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ljɯwɢs) : semantic 衣 (“clothing”) + phonetic 由 (OC *lɯw).

Part of a word family referring to any cover that one slips over something; cognate with 冑 (OC *l'ɯwɢs, “helmet”) (Schuessler, 2007). Schuessler (2007) reconstructs the word with a *s- suffix, which could play an iterative role, as sleeves come in pairs.

(Jōyō kanji)

1. sleeve
2. arm, wing
3. backstage, offstage

• Go-on: じゅ (ju)^{←じゆ (zyu, historical)}
• Kan-on: しゅう (shū, Jōyō)^{←しう (siu, historical)}
• Kun: そで (sode, 袖, Jōyō)

⟨so₁ te⟩ → /so te/ → /sode/

From Old Japanese. First attested in the Kojiki of 712 with the phonetic spelling 蘇弖 (⟨so₁ te⟩).^[1] The te changes to de as an instance of rendaku (連濁).

Japanese references that include an etymology note that this appears to be a compound of 衣 (so, “robe; clothing”) +‎ 手 (te, “hand; arm”).^[1][2][3][4] However, the initial so- is clearly spelled with the so-called 甲類 (kōrui, “"A" type”) vowel ⟨so₁⟩ in the oldest texts, whereas 衣 when read as so was pronounced with the so-called 乙類 (otsurui, “"B" type”) vowel as ⟨so₂⟩. These were treated as separate vowels in Old Japanese, so this proposed compound cannot be the actual derivation.^[1]
