It is derived from the word "yuck", which is onomatopoeic in nature and imitates the sound people commonly make to express disgust or revulsion. The term "yuck" itself emerged in the early 1960s and is believed to have originated as a playful alternative to the word "yikes" or "ugh". Over time, "yuck" evolved into "yukky" to describe something more specifically. It has become a popular slang term, particularly among young children, to describe things they find not to their liking.
