"ぐすく" meaning in Japanese

See ぐすく in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: gusuku [romanization]
Etymology: Unclear. The initial gu may be cognate with 御 (go, “honorific”), but it is problematic in that the only honorary prefixes found in Omoro Sōshi are 御 (mi) and 御 (o). Suku may be related to しけ (shike, “a holy place”) or cognate with 塞 (soko, “fortress”). While written with the kanji for "castle", textual and cultural evidence suggests that the initial primary meaning was a holy place. Head templates: {{ja-noun}} ぐすく • (gusuku)
