    Etymology 1

    [edit]
    Kanji in this term
    伍
    ご
    Jinmeiyō
    on'yomi

    From Middle Chinese 伍 (MC nguX).

    The numeral sense is a substitute spelling for 五(ご) (go, “five”), likely borrowed from similar usage of written Chinese 伍 (“five”).

    Pronunciation

    [edit]

    Noun

    [edit]

    伍(ご) • (go) 

    1. (financial, archaic) the number five, 5 (used only in legal documents, otherwise 五)
    2. a military squad (usu. of five people); a group
    Usage notes
    [edit]

    Legal uses arose due to the relative ease with which certain number kanji can be fraudulently altered to look like other number kanji. For instance, 三 (san, “three”) could be modified to look like 五 (go, “five”), but it cannot be modified to look like 伍 (go, “five”, in legal contexts).
