metaphor, compare
喩 centers on drawing a comparison to explain something indirectly: using a metaphor or likening one thing to another.
喩 combines 口 (mouth) with 兪, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of conveying meaning. The character is associated with explaining by comparison or metaphor.
The mouth 口 on the left and the component 兪 on the right suggest using words to draw a comparison. Picture a mouth speaking in metaphors, likening one thing to another.
For ユ, imagine you explaining a metaphor: you -> ユ, and your words compare one thing to another.
