Etymology[edit]
Probably ultimately from Middle Chinese 一世一元 (MC 'jit syejH 'jit ngjwon, literally “one generation, one era”), as this practice originated in China. Also analyzable in Japanese as a compound of 一世 (issei, “one generation”) + 一元 (ichigen, “one era”).[1][2][3][4]
First cited in Japanese to 1868.[1]
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]

- [from 1868] (monarchy) an East Asian practice of dating, using exactly one distinct era name for each monarch's reign, where such era name also eventually becomes the monarch's posthumous name
