    Kanji in this term
    さる
    Grade: S
    kun’yomi

    From Old Japanese. Appears in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.

    Ultimate derivation possibly borrowed from Ainu サロ (saro, monkey, from サㇻ (sar, a tail) + (o, to bear, to wear, to carry)).[1]

    The kanji is from Chinese (yuán, ape). Compare Japanese (inoshishi, boar) from Chinese (zhū, pig) and Japanese (buta, pig) from Chinese (tún, suckling pig).

    Pronunciation[edit]

    Noun[edit]

    (さる) or (サル) (saru (counter )

    1. a monkey (primate)
    2. Short for 日本猿 (Nihonzaru, Japanese macaque).
    3. (loosely) an ape (animal)
    Usage notes[edit]

    As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as サル.
