The kanji 侑 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいもじ). It is composed of two parts: ⚫︎ The radical (部首, ぶしゅ) is 人 (にんべん, ninben), meaning "person" or "human." This component provides a semantic indication related to people and actions involving people. ⚫︎ The other part is 有 (ゆう, yuu), which provides the phonetic element, indicating the pronunciation and suggesting "to have" or "to possess." Thus, the character likely originally depicted a person offering help or assistance, the meaning gradually shifted and the phonetic component played a greater role in determining the meaning.
