Etymology
⟨a si pi1 ki2 no2⟩ → */asipʲikɨnə/ → /aɕi fiki no/ → /aɕi hiki no/
From Old Japanese, first attested in the Kojiki (712 CE)
Original derivation unknown,[1] various theories exist. The kanji spelling literally means "foot-dragging", possibly implying a sense of "climbing while 'pulling' one's legs → foot-aching → rugged". However, 引き (/pi1ki1/ → hiki, “pulling”) is not the original derivation but rather a later development.
Usually spelled with rendaku (連濁) as ashi-biki no, for posterity.
