I wonder what the etymology of the word “you” is
It's an abbreviated form of "y'all".

It's an abbreviated form of "y'all". One of the delights of moving to The South is discovering
that "y'all" is really singular ... "all y'all" is plural.
Who knew?

Thank you!
That’s what we need to get back to in our Schools, Proper English!
