Verb

IPA: [ka̠ɡe̞ɾo̞ː]
Etymology: Derived as a verb from the noun 陽炎 (kagerō, “heat haze, heat shimmer”). The shadow sense may derive instead from verb 陰る (kageru, “to become shady, to become shadowed”), as kagera (the 未然形 mizenkei, “imperfective form”) + ふ (fu, auxiliary verb indicating repeated or continuous action): /kaɡerafu/ → /kaɡerau/ → /kaɡerɔu/ → /kaɡerou/ That said, the kage in kageru is ultimately cognate with the kage in the noun kagerō.
