CPU = central + processing + unit (opaque) = C + P + U
CPU is an initialism of the phrase 'central processing unit'; the isolated letters do not allow a learner to infer the meaning without knowing the expansion.
Etymology
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit, and a helpful way to remember it is to think of it as the computer's 'brain'. Central means 'center', Processing means 'working on information', and Unit means 'one part', so the CPU is the main part that works on instructions and manages most operations.
