Etymology 1

Kanji in this term
鋸
のこぎり Jinmeiyō
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese no₂pogi₁ri which has been attested since at least 794; the form nokogiri is attested since at least 1032.

While the -giri is certainly 切り (kiri, 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative fomr”) of 切る (kiru, “to cut”)), the initial no₂po- is unknown, with some speculating a connection to 上る (noboru, “to climb”); a form nobogiri is attested in a dialect dictionary from 1767.

• IPA^(key): [no̞ko̞ɡʲiɾʲi]
• (Tokyo) のこぎり [nòkógíꜜrì] (Nakadaka – [3])
