reasonable, just, natural, superb, outstanding, plausible
尤 centers on something that stands out as exceptionally right or fitting: reasonable, just, natural, and by extension superb or outstanding. The idea of being plausible follows from this sense of natural rightness.
尤 is thought to originate from a pictograph of a hand with an extra mark, suggesting something exceptional or outstanding. The exact historical development is uncertain, but the modern form retains the idea of something that stands out.
The shape 尤 looks like a person 尢 with an extra dot 丶 on top, like a mark of distinction. Picture someone marked as outstanding, making them the most reasonable and natural choice.
For ユウ, imagine a judge saying 'you' are the most reasonable candidate: you -> ユウ, and your outstanding quality makes you the natural choice.
