Etymology 1 [edit]
From Old Japanese. Originally a compound of 此 (ke, “this”) + 朝 (asa, “morning”).
The initial /ke/ is an alternative form of the initial /ko/ (此, “this”) seen in words such as ここ (koko, “this place > here”) or これ (kore, “this [nominal] > this”), and the final /sa/ is a contraction from */ke.asa/ to /kesa/ with the medial -a- falling out, as Old Japanese did not permit vowel clusters.
The use of the kanji 今 (“now”) instead of 此 (“this”) is an example of jukujikun.
Pronunciation [edit]
Adverb [edit]
Noun [edit]
Etymology 2 [edit]
