See ひげ on Wiktionary

Noun [Japanese]

IPA: [çiɡe̞] Forms: hige [romanization]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. The ge element is likely related to 毛 (ke, “hair, fur”), but further etymology is uncertain. Possibilities include: * Shift from hohoge (頬 (hoho, “cheek”) + 毛 (ke)) or from hirege (鰭 (hire, “fin”) + 毛 (ke)). Both theories are unlikely unless the term originally referred only to cheek hair. * Shift from hirakuke (開く (hiraku, “to open”) + 毛 (ke)), literally, “hair of the opening”. This would include other hair around the mouth, although “opening” being used to mean the mouth is unlikely. * Shift from hege (辺 (he) + 毛 (ke)) or herige (縁 (heri, “edge”) + 毛 (ke)), literally, “edge hair”. Compare 唇 (kuchiberi) being from 口 (kuchi, “mouth”) + 縁 (heri), literally, “mouth edge”. * The hi element being cognate with Korean 입 (ip, “mouth”). First attested in the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE.

  "etymology_text": "From Old Japanese.\nThe ge element is likely related to 毛 (ke, “hair, fur”), but further etymology is uncertain. Possibilities include:\n* Shift from hohoge (頬 (hoho, “cheek”) + 毛 (ke)) or from hirege (鰭 (hire, “fin”) + 毛 (ke)). Both theories are unlikely unless the term originally referred only to cheek hair.\n* Shift from hirakuke (開く (hiraku, “to open”) + 毛 (ke)), literally, “hair of the opening”. This would include other hair around the mouth, although “opening” being used to mean the mouth is unlikely.\n* Shift from hege (辺 (he) + 毛 (ke)) or herige (縁 (heri, “edge”) + 毛 (ke)), literally, “edge hair”. Compare 唇 (kuchiberi) being from 口 (kuchi, “mouth”) + 縁 (heri), literally, “mouth edge”.\n* The hi element being cognate with Korean 입 (ip, “mouth”).\nFirst attested in the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE.",
