Etymology 1

[edit]
Kanji in this term
けさ
Grade: 2 Grade: 2
jukujikun

From Old Japanese. Originally a compound of (ke, this) +‎ (asa, morning).

The initial /ke/ is an alternative form of the initial /ko/ (, “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.

It is the same element found in 今日 (kepu→kyō, today).

The use of the kanji (now) instead of (this) is an example of jukujikun ((じゅく)()(くん)).
