Etymology

Wikipedia ^ja Wikipedia

漆 (urushi): a traditional red lacquerware serving set.

Kanji in this term
漆
うるし Grade: S
kun'yomi

Appears to be derived from Old Japanese root uru, as in terms such as classical Japanese 潤う ‎(urufu) → modern 潤う ‎(uruou, “to be moist”), うるうる ‎(uruuru, “wetly, moistly”, adverb). Probably from the way that a lacquered surface glistens as if wet.

Pronunciation

• Kun'yomi
• (Tokyo) うるし [ùrúshí] (Heiban - [0])
• IPA^(key): [ɯᵝɾ̠ɯᵝɕi]

Noun

漆 ‎(hiragana うるし, romaji urushi)

1. lacquer, varnish
2. Toxicodendron vernicifluum, the lacquer tree
