Etymology[edit]
| Kanji in this term |
| 狐 |
| きつね Hyōgaiji |

Various theories. The most likely is based on the root form kitsu, which may have originally been onomatopoeic for the sound of a fox's cry.[1] The final ne syllable appeared for certain by the Heian period,[2] but the meaning of the ne portion remains unclear.
