"夜這い" meaning in Japanese

See 夜這い in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [jo̞ba̠i] Forms: 夜這い [canonical] (ruby: (), ()), yobai [romanization], yobafi [romanization], よばひ [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. Derived from 呼ばひ (yobai), the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of classical verb 呼ばふ (yobau, “to court a woman”), a combination of 呼(よ)ば (yoba), the 未(み)然(ぜん)形(けい) (mizenkei, “irrealis form”) of verb 呼(よ)ぶ (yobu, “to call”) + auxiliary verb ふ (fu, “indicating repetition or ongoing state”). The spelling, composed of 夜 (yo, “night”) + 這い (hai, “crawling”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 這う (hau), “to crawl”), literally “night crawling”, is an example of phonetic ateji (当て字), with possibly some influence from folk etymology.

  "etymology_text": "From Old Japanese. Derived from 呼ばひ (yobai), the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of classical verb 呼ばふ (yobau, “to court a woman”), a combination of 呼(よ)ば (yoba), the 未(み)然(ぜん)形(けい) (mizenkei, “irrealis form”) of verb 呼(よ)ぶ (yobu, “to call”) + auxiliary verb ふ (fu, “indicating repetition or ongoing state”).\nThe spelling, composed of 夜 (yo, “night”) + 這い (hai, “crawling”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 這う (hau), “to crawl”), literally “night crawling”, is an example of phonetic ateji (当て字), with possibly some influence from folk etymology.",
