兜

Nihon Kokugo Daijiten
Nihon Ryōiki
Nihon Shoki
Shin'yaku Kegonkyō Ongi Shiki

From Old Japanese. Attested in the Shin'yaku Kegonkyō Ongi Shiki (794) with the spellings 可夫刀 and 可夫度. One source cites a manuscript of the Nihon Shoki (720) in which the word 冑 in the word has a katakana gloss カフト but these glosses may be later readings.
Derivation currently unknown.
* A surface analysis might suggest a derivation from 被る (kaburu, “to wear something on the head”). However, that reading derives from older form kagafuru and does not appear until the Nihon Ryōiki (810-824), some time after the first appearance of kabuto.
* An alternative analysis might suggest a compound of 頭 (kabu, “head”, kun'yomi and native Japanese term) + 兜 (to, “helmet”, on'yomi and borrowing from Chinese).
* Word-medial bilabial plosives usually underwent lenition, shifting along the lines of /p/ → /f/ → /w/, then vanishing altogether except where the following vowel was /a/. This lenition often did not happen at morpheme boundaries in compound words. The persistence of the /b/ in kabuto might thus suggest that this term was originally a compound of ka + puto. The ka element is uncertain, possibly the か (ka-) intensifying prefix added to adjectives, or an abbreviation of 髪 (kami, “hair (of the head)”) or 上 (kami, “top”) (compare 挿頭す (kazasu, “to put decorations onto a hair or crown”, possibly from kami + 刺す (sasu, “to poke”)); Old Japanese puto would be the stem and root of modern 太い (futoi, “thick; fat; stout”), possibly in reference to the protective strength provided by a helmet. This puto would then have undergone rendaku (連濁) to become buto.
: Compare the phonology of adjective か細い (kabosoi, “very slender”), composed of this ka- prefix and adjective 細い (hosoi, ancient pososi) and demonstrating a similar retention of the bilabial plosive and rendaku (連濁).
