namasté
āyus = life , vital power , vigour , health , duration of life , long life
ved = knowledge
āyurved is āyus + veda = the knowledge of life , vital power , vigour , health .
With this knowledge long life is possible.
Let's take a look at the word you have offered:
āyu is a living being, also meaning mobile. This word also can mean to seize , take possession of. And if used as a neuter gender we could spell it āyus meaning duration of life but does not imply long life.
.. hope this assists you in your understanding.
