"木偶の坊" meaning in All languages combined

See 木偶の坊 on Wiktionary

Noun [Japanese]

IPA: [de̞kɯ̟ᵝno̞bo̞ː] Forms: 木偶の坊 [canonical] (ruby: 木偶(でく), (ぼう)), dekunobō [romanization]
Etymology: Phrase consisting of 木偶 (deku, “wooden puppet”) + の (no, possessive particle) + 坊 (bō, term of endearment). The deku portion is of unknown origin and may have arisen as a standalone term later than as a part of a compound. Theories include: * Alteration from 出狂坊/出来坊 (dekurubō), used synonymously, in turn from 出狂坊 (dekuruibō), literally "little one who has gone mad". * From 手 (te, “hand”) + 傀儡 (kugutsu, “puppet”) + の + 坊, through dekurubō. * From Sino-Japanese 泥偶 (deigū, “clay doll”) + の + 坊. The third theory is problematic semantically and does not account for the intermediary dekurubō pronunciation.
