Etymology
Probably the nominalization of the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) yuri of Old Japanese-derived and now-obsolete verb 揺る (yuru, “to sway, to swing, to wave back and forth”), from the way that lilies tend to grow tall and sway in the breeze.
The spelling is borrowed from Chinese, and indicates the way that lily bulbs cluster together (合 (“gather, combine”)) in large numbers (百 (“hundreds”)).
