Etymology

Borrowed from Japanese 変態 (へんたい) (hentai, “one who has (perverted) sexual drives to a great extent; hentai”), from an abbreviation for 変態性欲者 (hentai seiyoku sha, “perverted person”), from Middle Chinese 變 (MC pˠiᴇn^H, “"change", "alter"”) + 態 (MC tʰʌi^H, “"status", "state"”). Compare Mandarin 變態／变态 (biàntài, “perverted”).
