家業

Unclear. The なり (nari) portion is likely derived from the (れん)(よう)(けい) (ren'yōkei, continuative form) of () (naru, to be achieved; to be completed) or () (naru, to bear fruit) while the わい (wai) portion may be derived from the (れん)(よう)(けい) (ren'yōkei, continuative form) of () (hau, to crawl) or some other source. This -wai may be the same -wai that occurs in the words (さいわ) (saiwai, good fortune; happiness) or (あじ)わい (ajiwai, flavor; taste).
