収 is made from 攵, meaning “to act” or “to do,” and 丩, which has the sense of tying or gathering. It shows action taken to pull things together. From this idea of bringing things in and gathering them, 収 came to mean to collect, receive, or obtain.
You actively gather things and bring them in. That collecting is 収.
