| jukujikun | ||
⟨isayo1pi1⟩ → */isajʷopʲi/ → /isajopi/ → /isajofi/ → /izajofi/ → /izajowi/ → /izajoi/
From Old Japanese.[1][2] Read as isayopi in the Nara Period, shifting to isayofi and izayofi alternating in free variation with in the Heian Period, and settling on izayoi thereafter.[1]
Derived as the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 猶予う (izayou, “to pause, to hesitate”).[1][2][3][4]
The kanji spelling is jukujikun (熟字訓), literally the "sixteenth night → night after the full moon". This sense arose from the way the moonrise is slightly later just after the full moon, as if the moon is hesitating.[1][5]
