涙

From Old Japanese. Ultimately from Proto-Japonic *namita.
Attested in the Nihon Shoki with the man'yōgana spelling 那瀰多 (namita). The Kojiki and Man'yōshū have 那美多 (namita), and the Man'yōshū also has later instances where the 多 (ta) was replaced with 太 (da), forming 奈美太 (namida), indicating a phonetic change over time from namita to namida.
Ultimate derivation unknown. There are interesting phonetic and semantic similarities with Thai น้ำตา (nám-dtaa, “tear”, literally “water + eye”), overlapping semantically with Korean 눈물 (nunmul, “tear”, literally “eye + water”), perhaps pointing to an ancient prehistoric borrowing. However, such similarities may also be purely accidental.

From Old Japanese. First attested in the Nihon Shoki of 720.
Ultimately a compound of よ (yo, meaning uncertain) + 垂り (tari, “hanging down”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of intransitive 四段 (yodan, “quadrigrade”) conjugation verb 垂る (taru, “to hang down”)). The tari changes to dari as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
Superseded by the yodare reading, once the base verb 垂る (taru, “to hang down”) had shifted from the quadrigrade conjugation pattern to the lower bigrade pattern in the 15-1600s: see modern form 垂れる (tareru).

compound

(archaic) snot: nasal mucus hanging or oozing out from the nose

(archaic) drool, slobber: saliva hanging or oozing out from the mouth


涎

Shift from earlier yodari reading, due to the base verb 垂る (taru, “to hang down”) shifting from the quadrigrade conjugation pattern to the lower bigrade pattern in the 15-1600s: see modern form 垂れる (tareru).
First attested in a dictionary from 1548.


膿

⟨umi₁⟩ → */umʲi/ → /umi/
Possibly from Old Japanese.
Nominalization of the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 膿む (umu, “to fester”).

Generally agreed upon as originating from baby talk.
Derivation unclear. Possibilities include:
* A shift from ををうまい (wo wo umai, literally “huh huh delicious”), as something a baby might say while breastfeeding.
:: /wo wo umai/ → /o o umai/ → /oːmai/ → /opːai/
: While suggestive, the phonetic changes required seem unlikely. Moreover, the pitch accent differs, in that うまい (umai) has a high pitch on the ma followed by a downstep, while おっぱい (oppai) has a high pitch on the initial o followed by a downstep.
* A shift from 一杯 (ippai, “one serving, one cupful; full”), as something a baby might say when done breastfeeding, or when asking to do so.
:: /ipːai/ → /opːai/
: This seems more likely, as the phonetics align better: only one vowel changes, and the pitch accent in ippai is similar with a high pitch on the initial i followed by a downstep.
