Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 森
Shang Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Oracle bone script Small seal script

Ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : Triplication of 木 (“tree”), to suggest a large number (compare 三) of trees such as one would find in a forest. Compare 林 (OC *ɡ·rɯm).

Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ram (“jungle; forest; country; field”) (STEDT). Schuessler (2007) suggests that it may be an intensive derivation of 林 (OC *rəm, “forest”), perhaps influenced by parallels in Austroasiatic, such as Lua error in Module:parameters at line 95: Parameter 1 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "mkh-okm" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF., Lua error in Module:parameters at line 95: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "mkh-okm" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E., derived from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 95: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "mkh-okm" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E.. Alternatively, Mei (2012) suggests that the suffix *s- has a denominative function.

Etymology

Kanji in this term
森
もり
Grade: 1
kun’yomi

From Old Japanese, first attested in the Man'yōshū (c. 759 CE).[1]

Probably cognate with 盛り (mori, “heap, pile”), the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 盛る (moru, “to heap up, to build up into a significant amount”), from the way a forest can look like a heap or mound from a distance.[2]

Pronunciation
