This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means receive and so the verb vocab version means to receive.
What do you want to receive from another person more than anything else in the world? Delicious uni (う). Accepting uni from someone is (not only yummy) but it means they really, really like you.
