    Etymology[edit]

    Kanji in this term
    たけ
    Grade: 1
    kun’yomi

    From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *takai.

    Theories on derivation include:[1][2]

    • From 長生 (takeou) or 高生 (takahae), in reference to the speed at which bamboo grows.
    • Cognate with (taka), (take), (take) "height".
    • From 高景 (takakake) or つらこえ (tsurakoe).
    • From ta meaning "tall" (高い (takai)) + ke, ancient form of (ki, tree).
    • A contraction of 痛快茎延へ (itakukihae), referring to the speed at which bamboo grows.
    • Ta is from Korean (dae, bamboo) (see also 대나무 (daenamu, bamboo, literally bamboo tree)), while ke is an ancient form of (ki).
