Etymology 3

|---|---|
| 彼 | 処 |
| あ Grade: S |
こ Grade: 6 |
| kun'yomi | |
| Alternative spelling |
|---|
| 彼處 (kyūjitai) |
Appears to be a compound of 彼 (a, “that one over there”, distal marker, indicating something distant from both speaker and listener) + 処 (ko, “place”).[1][2] First appears in the late 1500s, early 1600s,[2] and used mostly in the Kansai region.[2][3] Given the historical tendency for innovation in the Kansai region, the term may instead derive as an abbreviation of asoko above, by analogy with the -ko suffix in ここ (koko, “here”) and そこ (soko, “there”, closer to the listener than to the speaker).
