"ゼット" meaning in Japanese

See ゼット in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [d͡ze̞t̚to̞] Forms: zetto [romanization]
Etymology: Borrowed from English zed. The English word-final voiced sound /d/ is sometimes transcribed as if it was voiceless, as tto, instead of the usual (and more accurate) ddo, because Japanese didn’t have a voiced geminate. Perhaps also influenced by Dutch [zɛt], which ends in a voiceless sound. Some English words ending in the voiced sound /z/ are also transcribed as if they ended in the voiceless sound /s/ (e.g.: ニュース (nyūsu, “news”). Doublet of ゼータ (zēta, “zeta”). Etymology templates: {{bor|ja|en|zed}} English zed, {{der|ja|nl|-}} Dutch, {{m|ja|ニュース||news|tr=nyūsu}} ニュース (nyūsu, “news”), {{doublet|ja|ゼータ|t1=zeta|tr1=zēta}} Doublet of ゼータ (zēta, “zeta”) Head templates: {{ja-noun}} ゼット • (zetto)
  1. The name of the Latin-script letter Z. Wikipedia link: ja:ゼット Categories (topical): Latin letter names Synonyms: ズィー () (english: zee) [rare], ゼッド (zeddo)

  "etymology_text": "Borrowed from English zed. The English word-final voiced sound /d/ is sometimes transcribed as if it was voiceless, as tto, instead of the usual (and more accurate) ddo, because Japanese didn’t have a voiced geminate. Perhaps also influenced by Dutch [zɛt], which ends in a voiceless sound. Some English words ending in the voiced sound /z/ are also transcribed as if they ended in the voiceless sound /s/ (e.g.: ニュース (nyūsu, “news”). Doublet of ゼータ (zēta, “zeta”).",
