possess, have, exist, happen, occur, approx
有 centers on the idea of something being present or held: possessing, having, existing, or an event happening. The 'approx' sense is a natural extension of something being 'there' in a rough sense.
有 originally combined a hand-like shape (now ナ) with 月 (meat/flesh), suggesting holding meat, hence possession or existence. The modern form retains the general structure.
The top part looks like a hand (ナ) holding a piece of meat (月). When you hold something, you possess it, and it exists with you.
For ユウ, imagine you holding a piece of meat: 'you' -> ユウ, and you possess it.
