踝 |
First cited to a text from 850, but only with a logographic spelling 踝. The first phonetic attestation is cited to the Shinsen Jikyō of circa 898-901 CE.[1]
Perhaps from *粒節 (tsububushi, literally “small and round joint”).[1] This word also presumably had a reading tsubufushi, giving support to a compound etymology.
