| 胡頽子 茱萸 |
First attested in 898.[1]
Probably realized in older times as kumi with an unvoiced initial.[1][2]
This appears in some dialects as guimi, suggesting a possible shift from that as an older form, which could be a derivation from ぐい (“poke”, in reference to the many thorns of the plant) + 実 (mi, “fruit”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
- silverberry, oleaster: plants in the genus Elaeagnus, or the fruit thereof
