Noun

IPA: [sa̠t͡sɨ̥kʲi] Forms: 五月 [canonical] (ruby: (), (つき)), 五月 [canonical] (ruby: 五月(サツキ)), satsuki [romanization]
Etymology: Explained in some sources as a possible contraction of 早苗月 (sanaezuki, another old name for the month of May). However, the initial sa- element appears in many ancient terms relating to the rice plant, making it more likely that the sa- in satsuki is not a contraction. Some sources thus list satsuki instead as a compound of さ (sa, ancient word relating to rice, here referring to the planting season) + 月 (tsuki, “moon; month”).
