pluck, pull, extract, excel
抽 centers on drawing something out from within: plucking, pulling, or extracting. The sense of excelling can be seen as pulling ahead of others.
抽 combines 扌 (hand) with 由, which likely contributes the sound and may suggest drawing out or extracting. The exact historical role of 由 is uncertain.
The hand radical 扌 beside 由 suggests a hand pulling something out from a container or source. Picture a hand plucking a thread from a spool.
For チュウ, imagine pulling a chew toy from a dog's mouth: chew -> チュウ, and your hand extracts it.
