Etymology

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “The NKD entry traces this to itibi + ko instead, which is reasonable considering the superficial similarities between the ichibi plant and the various things called ichigo over history.”

The kanji spelling is an orthographic borrowing from Middle Chinese 蓬虆 (buŋ liuɪ).
