角隠し

角隠し (canonical)
tsuno kakushi (romanization)

Daijirin
Daijisen
Edo period
Heian period
Tsunokakushi
ja:松村明
ja:角隠し

By surface analysis, 角 (tsuno, “horn”) + 隠し (kakushi, “hiding; hider”, 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 隠(かく)す (kakusu, “to hide something”).). Appears in texts from the early 1800s.
This derivation is listed in some sources as a reference to hiding a bride's "horns" of anger, jealousy, or other negative qualities, in order to present a more virtuous image for the wedding. However, this interpretation might be a folk etymology resulting from a shift in the reading and meaning.
This specific headdress is described as arising in the Edo period as something worn by women when visiting a Buddhist temple. In certain Buddhist sects, women visitors to temples were required to cover their hairlines in front, also known as the 角 (sumi, literally “corner”; the hairline sense possibly in reference to a widow's peak, or in reference to the top "edge" or "corners" of the forehead), the same portion of the hairline that was traditionally shaved off in men's fashions. The headdress may have been known originally as a 角隠し (sumi kakushi, literally “front-hairline hider”).
Such a shift may have been facilitated by the existence of partial synonym 角帽子 (tsuno bōshi, literally “horn hat”, also read as sumi bōshi in different contexts), originally referring to a different kind of headdress used since at least the Heian period of 794–1185. This consisted of a triangular piece of material with one corner pointing straight up from the wearer's forehead, and 角 (tsuno, “horn”) referred to the peak of the triangle.

1999, 月下 [Gekka], 月下の図書館 [Library Under the Moonlight], archived from the original on 1999-10-08:

Basically, it's all about TSF (Transsexual Fiction), where men turn into women and various things happen, in those works.

ＴＳＦ小説というジャンル同様、ＴＳＦ嗜好もマイナーと言えます。

2000 December 31, 月華 [Gekka], “第一回「私がＴＳＦ小説を書く理由」 [The Reason Why I Write TSF Novels: Part One]”, in TS-WEEK, archived from the original on 2001-04-29:

Like the TSF novel genre, TSF preferences could also be considered niche.

ＴＳＦとは、「非現実的な事象によって精神が帰属する肉体の性別が変化することで、肉体的性別と精神的性別との差異が突如うまれる物語」の類型を表す言葉として使われています。

2016 July 19, F_TSF, “TSFジャンルについての私見 [My Thoughts on the TSF Genre]”, in TSFのF [blog], archived from the original on 2017-02-10:

TSF stands for "Transsexual Fiction," a term used to describe stories where the gender of the body to which the mind belongs changes due to unreal events, creating a sudden difference between physical and mental gender.

the crux of a TSF story relies on the biological change of the body

2017 July 26, Chiaki Hirai, “An Analysis of Magical Sex-Change (TSF) Manga”, in Anime Feminist, archived from the original on 2017-07-28:

I have come to the conclusion that there is no meaningful difference between the terms. TG (Trans-Gender), TSF (Trans-Sexual Fantasy or Trans-Sexual Fiction), Gender Bender, Gender Swap, or any related terminology, are all synonyms for the same concept.

2022 May 25, Natalie Neumann, “Natalie Rambles About TSF”, in Natalie.TF, archived from the original on 2022-12-01:

Probably coined within Japanese of Middle Chinese-derived components, as a compound of 宅 (taku, “home, residence”) + 録 (roku, “record, recording”). Also analyzable as an irregular abbreviation of compound term 自宅録音 (jitaku rokuon, literally “own-residence + recording-sound”).
Appears to be a recent coinage. Not included in many dictionaries.
