Nihon Kokugo Daijiten
Shinsen Jikyō
Tokyo
ja:明治書院

Attested in the Shinsen Jikyō of circa 898–901 CE, with the man'yōgana spelling 与支. Presumably from Proto-Japonic, but the first attestation in Japanese is too late to precisely reconstruct the vowels. Cognate with Proto-Ryukyuan *yoki.
Despite widespread regional attestations, the lack of pitch accent information in standard Japanese could imply that this word is not used in modern standard Japanese.

(Ibaraki, Nagoya, Hyōgo, Shikoku, Kyūshū) a small hatchet

(obsolete or dialectal) a hatchet

箕

From Old Japanese 箕 (mi₂), perhaps from earlier Proto-Japonic *mui, which was loaned into Ainu ムイ (mui) and possibly Proto-Ryukyuan *m(u)i, whence Kunigami 箕笊筒 (muijōkī) and Miyako 箕 (mui). In the Man'yōshū, this was used to phonetically write Old Japanese ⟨mi₂⟩.
This word had once referred to a squared winnowing basket which originated in northern China and was imported to Japan from Korea. However, the exact source of this word is unknown.

箕 説文云箕［音姫和名美］除糞簸米之器也

938, Minamoto no Shitagō, Wamyō Ruijushō:

Winnow. [In the] Shuowen Jiezi it is written (lit. say[s]) as 箕 (The [Chinese] reading (lit. sound) is ki; the Japanese reading is mi). [This means] an object used to remove rice by fanning/winnowing.

Mi. VI. Mino toqi. Das oito ate ai dez

MI. n. A shallow basket used for cleaning rice.

鋏

Originally the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of verb 鋏む (hasamu, “to be tightly between two things, to be inserted in between””), itself apparently deriving from hasa (“narrowness between other things”, likely cognate with 細 (hoso), “skinny, narrowness within the thing itself”) + auxiliary suffix む (mu, “to be or become like something”).

Probably originally a transcription of Sanskrit मोह (moha, “folly”), used as a cant term among monks.
Alternatively, may have arisen from the same root as Old Japanese 痴 (woko, modern oko, “stupidity, ridiculousness”). However, this theory is problematic phonologically, as the /b/ ↔ /w/ shift is difficult to explain.
The characters 馬鹿 (literally “horse + deer”) are ateji (当て字), probably chosen as an allusion to Literary Chinese 指鹿為馬 (“to deliberately misinterpret and invert right and wrong”, literally “to point to a deer and call it a horse”) (see that entry for more).
