あけび

あけび (canonical)
アケビ (canonical)
akebi (romanization)
あけび (hiragana historical)

Translingual: Akebia

Uncertain, with a couple different theories. Some include:
* A shift from akemi, as a compound of 開け (ake, the 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 開(あ)ける (akeru, “to open something”)) + 実 (mi, “fruit, seed”).
: However, the stem ake is from the transitive verb, and this fruit opens on its own.
* A shift from akami, as a compound of 赤 (aka, “red”) + 実 (mi, “fruit, seed”).
: There is also the term 赤 (ake, “red”), but this is only used as a standalone noun, and not in compounds.
Both theories are problematic and require an irregular shift in the reading of 実 from mi to bi, which is not attested in other words.
First cited to the Shinsen Jikyō (898-901).
