Etymology 1[edit]
| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 源 |
| みなもと Grade: 6 |
| kun’yomi |
Derived from 水 (mi, “water”, combining form) + な (na, Old Japanese possessive particle) + 元, 本 (moto, “origin, source”).[1][2]
Vovin believes that the na in the initial mina- element is not a genitive particle, but rather actually meant "water", contending that the mi was instead the honorific prefix 御 (mi-).[3]
