Verb [Japanese]

IPA: [ho̞sːɯ̟ᵝɾɯ̟ᵝ]
Etymology: /porisu/ → /posːu/ → /posːuru/ Sound shift from classical verb 欲(ほり)す (horisu), in turn from the 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 欲(ほ)る (horu, “to wish for, to desire”). + す (su, precursor to modern する (suru, “to do”)). The sense "to attempt to" is a calque of Classical Chinese 欲. First attested in ideographic form in the Nihon Shoki of 720, and in phonetic spelling in the Man'yōshū of 759.
