/juawa/ → /juwau/ → /iwau/ → /iwɔː/ → /iwoː/ → /ioː/
Originally a compound of 湯 (yu, “warm or hot water”) + 泡 (awa, “bubble”), from the way that volcanic hot springs would often be accompanied by bubbles of sulfur gas.[1][2]
The kanji spelling is an example of jukujikun (熟字訓), from Chinese 硫黃/硫黄 (liúhuáng).
An alternative theory is that the character 硫 (“sulfur”) developed an on'yomi of yu instead of the usual goon of ru or kan'on of ryū, such that the reading is on'yomi.[1] However, given that this particular sound shift is not found in other kanji readings, this derivation seems unlikely.
This is the most common reading for this term in modern Japanese.
