Where it comes from
Via Spanish yuca (also historically juca), frequently said to be of Taíno origin. While the word is almost certainly from an indigenous American language, the source is not known. Perhaps from Kari'na yuca (“cassava”) (Can this etymology be sourced?), but this appears to be a ghost word. Doublet of yucca.
