By pointing to different parts of the Hand symbol :

we get Thumb :

and Finger :

But there are other ways to derive new meanings from the hand symbol.

If we add the symbol for Thing :
we get a "thing in hand" which means Tool :
Then add a verb indicator and we get the symbol for the verb, to Use :

Add the adjective indicator and get the adjective, Useful :

Add the Mind symbol :
and you get a very specific form of the word useful which means
useful in more than just a physical way, but also useful in an intellectual way :
The mind symbol above was derived by Mr. Bliss from the simple outline of the top of a person's head.
