"あけび" meaning in Japanese

See あけび in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [a̠ke̞bʲi] Forms: あけび [canonical], アケビ [canonical], akebi [romanization], あけび [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: Uncertain, with a couple different theories. * 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 a text from the late 800s.
