(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.) There are related words in many neighbouring languages. Compare Lao ຍູ (nyū) (as in ຄັນຍູ (khan nyū)) and Khmer យូ (yuu) (as in តាំងយូ (tangyuu)). The distribution within both Tai languages and Austroasiatic does not indicate great time depth, so they might be borrowed from Vietnamese instead.
Compare Middle Chinese 猶 (MC yuw, “still, yet”) (SV: do).
