| いろ Grade: 2 |
| kun’yomi |
⟨iro2⟩ → */irə/ → /iro/
From Old Japanese.
Originally referred to kin, indicating siblings sharing the same mother.[1] Later came to indicate feelings of familial love.[1] Apparently this then evolved to refer to romantic love, and by extension sex, or by alternate extension, female beauty. Then by further extension, this came to refer to beauty in general, and then colorfulness, and finally color.
