YOU = <Y>AST <O>nline <U>pdate

YAST = <Y>et <A>nother <S>ystem <T>ool

Basically, YAST has a component that is the "installer" for SuSE specific RPM's and/or packages; this installer is also used for/as the "online update" capability of adding patches and packages after installation.  This would be similar to YUM, EMERGE, and APT-GET (and red carpet, if that's still around...) used by other distributions.
