The kanji 悠 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound. It combines two parts: The upper part is 攸 (yuu), which originally depicted a person in motion or a person holding a torch. The lower part is 心 (kokoro), meaning "heart" or "mind". The combination suggests the mind (心) being at ease and moving freely (攸), thus the meaning of leisurely, calm, or long-lasting emerged. The 攸 part contributes the sound.
