Noun

IPA: [ɡa̠ɾa̠kɯ̟̊ᵝta̠] Forms: がらくた [canonical], ガラクタ [canonical], garakuta [romanization]
Etymology: Compound of がら (gara), from がらがら (garagara), an onomatopoeia for the sound of objects bumping against each other + くた (kuta), perhaps a contraction of 芥 (akuta, “trash, rubbish”) or related to verb 朽つ (kutsu, “to rot”, Classical and Old Japanese form of modern 朽ちる (kuchiru, “to rot”)). Compare other terms containing this くた (kuta) element, such as くたくた (kutakuta, “broken down, worn out”), 草臥れる (kutabireru, “to become exhausted”), 腐す (kutasu, “to make something rot, to ruin something”). Kanji spellings such as 瓦落多 and 我楽多 are ateji. First cited to a text from 1724.
