Japanese

Kanji

柿

(Jōyō kanji)

1. persimmon

Readings

• Go-on: じ (ji)
• Kan-on: し (shi)
• Kun: かき (kaki, 柿, Jōyō)

Usage notes

• Not to be confused with 杮 (kokera, “wood chips”). Note that this kanji 柿 (kaki) uses the character 市 (shì) as the right-hand portion, which consists of five strokes with two separate strokes for the central vertical. Meanwhile, 杮 (kokera) uses the character 巿 (fú) as the right-hand portion, which consists of four strokes with a single stroke for the central vertical.

Etymology

Kanji in this term
柿
かき Grade: S
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese. First cited in a text from 770.

Further derivation uncertain. Possibilities include:

/kakayaki/ → */kakyaki/ → */kakaki/ → */kakki/ → /kaki/

• From 輝き (kakayaki), the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of Early Modern Japanese verb 輝く (kakayaku, “to shine dazzingly”, obsolete), modern kagayaku.

/kataki/ → /kaki/

• From 硬き (kataki), the classical 連体形 (rentaikei, “attributive form”) of modern 硬い (katai, “hard (not soft)”), from the hardness of the unripened fruit.

/akaki/ → /kaki/

• From 赤き (akaki), the classical 連体形 (rentaikei, “attributive form”) of modern 赤い (akai, “red”), from the color of the ripened fruit.
• From 赤黄 (akaki, “red-yellow”), from the color of the ripened fruit.
• From 赤木 (akaki, “red tree”), from the color of the foliage in autumn.

While at least one reference considers the akaki derivation more likely, this kind of phonological shift, wherein the first vowel disappears, is not a common pattern in attested Japanese. That said, the kakayaki and kataki derivations are also problematic, considering the lack of any evidence for intermediary forms.

Pronunciation

• (Tokyo) かき [kàkí] (Heiban – [0])
• IPA^(key): [ka̠kʲi]

Noun

柿(かき) or 柿(カキ) • (kaki) 

1. [from 770] a persimmon, especially the Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki)
2. [from 1170] Short for 柿色 (kakiiro). a yellowish-red color, like the fruit of the Japanese persimmon
3. [from 1819] a 布子 (nunoko, “cotton-paded clothing”) dyed in kakiiro

   Synonym: 柿衣 (kakiso)

Usage notes

As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as カキ.
