Etymology

[edit]

(fire) + (mountain) + (mouth).

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “the current etymology is too simplistic and only explains the characters. in this case, the three characters have chinese pronunciations so it seems the word was borrowed whole from chinese or less likely created in japan from chinese parts.”

Noun

[edit]

()(ざん)(くち) (kazankuchi

  1. crater, literally "fire mountain mouth".
