Noun [Japanese]

IPA: [na̠ɾʲiβ̞a̠i] Forms: 生業 [canonical] (ruby: 生業(なりわい)), nariwai [romanization], narifafi [romanization], なりはひ [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: Unclear. The なり (nari) portion is likely derived from the 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “continuative form”) of 成(な)る (naru, “to be achieved; to be completed”) or 生(な)る (naru, “to bear fruit”) while the わい (wai) portion may be derived from the 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “continuative form”) of 這(は)う (hau, “to crawl”) or some other source. This -wai may be the same -wai that occurs in the words 幸(さいわ)い (saiwai, “good fortune; happiness”) or 味(あじ)わい (ajiwai, “flavor; taste”).
