"冷奴" meaning in Japanese

See 冷奴 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [çija̠ja̠k̚ko̞] Forms: 冷奴 [canonical] (ruby: (ひや), (やっこ)), hiyayakko [romanization]
Etymology: Compound of 冷や (hiya, “cold”, combining form used in compounds) + 奴 (yakko, “square block of tofu”). 奴 (yakko) originally referred to the lowest-ranking slaves in a household, and in later years, the term referred to male servants of a samurai. The yakko in a procession would wear 半纏 (hanten, “short overcoat”) with a specific 紋 (mon, “crest”) of a square shape with the corners pointing vertically and horizontally. The term then came to be used as slang for the blocky shape, from the resemblance to the crest, giving rise to the term 奴豆腐 (yakkodōfu, “tofu cut into blocks and served”). Yakko on its own was later used to mean this kind of tofu, leading to the terms 冷奴 (hiyayakko, “cold tofu block”) and 湯奴 (yuyakko, “hot tofu block”).
