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.

    • 1994 July 16, Nijiko Kiyokawa as Oroku, 平成狸合戦ぽんぽこ [Heisei Raccoon Dog War Ponpoko] (in Japanese), written by Isao Takahata, Toho:
      程 (てい)度 (ど)の低 (ひく)いものは「擬 (ぎ)態 (たい)」と呼 (よ)ばれ、カメレオンなんぞにもできるが、「化 (ば)け学 (がく)」はオラたち以 (い)外 (がい)では、キツネと一 (いち)部 (ぶ)のネコしか身 (み)につけておらん‼

      Those lesser kinds like chameleons can make use of "mimicry", but beside us, only foxes and a few cats can master "metamorphism"‼

Usage notes[edit]

As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana in biological contexts, as キツネ.

Kanji[edit]

狐 ‎(hiragana ちちに, romaji chichini)

Etymology[edit]

/*kit͡sune/ → /t͡ɕit͡sini/ → /t͡ɕit͡ɕini/

Cognate with mainland Japanese 狐 ‎(kitsune).

From the earlier ちつィに ‎(chitsini), as attested in the 沖縄語典 (Okinawa Goten, “Okinawan Dictionary”)[1]. The phonemes /t͡si/ and /t͡ɕi/ converged in Okinawan during the 20th century.

Noun[edit]

狐 ‎(hiragana ちちに, romaji chichini, historical hiragana ちつィに)

  1. fox
