Etymology 1

Grade: 1 | Grade: 1 | Grade: 1 | Grade: 4 |
irregular |
Borrowed from Cantonese 立山小種/立山小种 (laap6 saan1 siu2 zung2, literally “sub-variety from Lapu Mountain”).
The spelling was apparently changed prior to borrowing into Japanese, replacing the 立 (laap6) character with the 正 (zeng3) character while keeping the pronunciation unchanged.
The reading is an approximation of modern (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Cantonese, and is thus neither on'yomi nor kun'yomi.
