Noun [Japanese]

IPA: [mo̞t͡ɕi] Forms: もち [canonical], モチ [canonical], mochi [romanization]
Etymology: Cognate with 糯 (mochi, “glutinous rice”). The term mochi appears to have had a root meaning of sticky, stickiness, something sticky, possibly from 持ち (mochi, “holding”), the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 持つ (motsu, “to hold”). The birdlime sense appears to have arisen from the use of a substance similar to pounded 糯 (mochi, “glutinous rice”) to trap birds and other small animals. This substance was derived primarily from the bark of the 黐の木 (mochi no ki, “Ilex integra, the mochi tree, a variety of holly”). First appears in the Man'yōshū of 759 CE.

  "etymology_text": "Cognate with 糯 (mochi, “glutinous rice”). The term mochi appears to have had a root meaning of sticky, stickiness, something sticky, possibly from 持ち (mochi, “holding”), the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 持つ (motsu, “to hold”).\nThe birdlime sense appears to have arisen from the use of a substance similar to pounded 糯 (mochi, “glutinous rice”) to trap birds and other small animals. This substance was derived primarily from the bark of the 黐の木 (mochi no ki, “Ilex integra, the mochi tree, a variety of holly”).\nFirst appears in the Man'yōshū of 759 CE.",
