Etymology
From Old Japanese. Appears in the Man'yōshū of 759 CE.[1][2]
Analyzable as ha (probably cognate with 葉 (ha, “leaf”), 歯 (ha, “tooth”), with a common sense of “sprout”) + ゆ (yu, verb-forming suffix deriving from Old Japanese, indicating spontaneous, passive, or potential action; compare 見ゆ (miyu), older form of modern 見える (mieru, “to be able to see; to seem”)).
Also cognate with Old Japanese and Classical 映ゆ (hayu, “to appear, to come into view”), modern 映える (haeru).[1][2]
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [ha̠jɯ̟ᵝ]
