/eizau/ → /eizɔː/ → /eizoː/
From Middle Chinese compound 影像 (ʔjængX zjangX, literally “shadow, reflection + image, resemble”).
Uses the kan'on reading ei for the first character, and the goon reading zō for the second character. The combined reading is likely a later innovation in Japanese after initial borrowing.
