Etymology[edit]
Probably from Middle Chinese compound 大勳 (MC *dajH *xjun). Compare modern Mandarin 大勳／大勋.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
- a great deed, distinguished service, an excellent accomplishment, a brilliant exploit
Usage notes[edit]
- Although the term 大勲位 (daikun'i, “Order of the Chrysanthemum”) looks as if it might be derived from 大勲 (takun), it is actually composed of 大 (dai, “great, big”) + 勲位 (kun'i, “Order of Merit”).
