Derived terms[edit]
Japanese[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
| Kanji in this term | |
|---|---|
| 百 | 足 |
| むかで | |
| Grade: 1 | Grade: 1 |
| jukujikun | |
| Alternative spellings |
|---|
| 蜈蚣 蜈蜙 蝍蛆 |
From Old Japanese, of unknown derivation; some theories include:
- a compound of 向かい (mukai, “facing”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 向かう (mukau, “to face”)) + 手 (te, “hand”), as the centipede's feet come in facing pairs
- a compound of 六 (mu, “six”) + 十 (ka, “ten”, unusual reading; compare the ga in 五十嵐 (igarashi)) + 手 (te, “hand”), literally "sixty hands"; centipedes have more or less than one hundred legs
- starting as a compound of 百 (momo, “hundred”) + が (ga, ancient possessive particle) + 手 (te, “hand”), shifting phonetically: /momo ɡa te/ → /mukade/
While the latter two theories seem plausible semantically, the devoicing of ga to ka is quite unusual.
The kanji are jukujikun (熟字訓), from Chinese 百足 (bǎizú).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
百足 or 百足 • (mukade) (standard)
