AFAIK that's "Unix System Resources" or somesuch, not "User"
Maybe it's true, but it sounds like an afterthought, mostly for the reason it is inacurate, because the most important Unix System Resources are NOT in this directory but in /bin, /sbin, /lib and /etc.

I'm not saying it is illegitimate to try to give sense. People are now finding advantages in this configuration, which were not the original reason; why not also forge an acronym to give a sensible meaning to the name, different of the original meaning?
