-From 亻(人 rén) ‘person’ and 尤 yóu phonetic. In the full form 優, the phonetic is 憂 yōu (which is the full form of 忧 yōu ‘worry’).
+The simple-form character 优 is an old form, re-used as an abbrev. of the full-form character 優, replacing the full-form component 憂 (15 strokes) with 尤 (3 strokes).
+	The Shuōwén Seal form of 優(􁗧) yōu ‘rich/ample’ (优饶) combines 亻(人 rén) ‘person’, and 憂(􀺬) yōu (phonosemantic); the rich worry about keeping their wealth.
+	Compare: 忧/憂(􀺬) yōu ‘worry/grieve’.
+	In the simple form 优, the full-form component 優 becomes 尤(􂤲) yóu (phonosemantic); cf. 尤.
+	HDZ: 优 : yóu : 五谷精如人白发; (简体) 優
