Adjective

IPA: [to̞ko̞to̞ɰᵝa̠] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (とことわ)), tokotowa [romanization], tokotofa [romanization], 常な [adnominal] (ruby: (とことわ)), 常に [adverbial] (ruby: (とことわ))
Etymology: /tokotoba/ → /tokotowa/ From Old Japanese. Read as tokotoba until the Heian period. Appears to be originally a compound of 常 (toko, “eternal”, see above) + とわ (towa, “permanence, unchangingness”, from earlier とば toba). This latter element is of unclear derivation. Some sources indicate that towa as an independent term arose as a contraction of earlier tokotoba, suggesting the possibility that toba was initially a compound of particles と (to, adverbial particle) + は (wa, formerly ba, even earlier pa; topic particle). However, other sources describe tokotowa as an intensified or emphatic form of towa.

Prefix

IPA: [to̞ko̞] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (とこ)), toko- [romanization]
Etymology: ⟨to₂ko₂⟩ → */təkə/ → /toko/ From Old Japanese. Possibly cognate with 時 (toki, “time”). The way the term is used in the historical record suggests that this was originally a noun. By the time of written Japanese, however, this term only appears in compounds, never on its own, and its usage is more as an adjective to modify other nouns.

Some sources indicate that towa as an independent term arose as a contraction of earlier tokotoba, suggesting the possibility that toba was initially a compound of particles と (to, adverbial particle) + は (wa, formerly ba, even earlier pa; topic particle). However, other sources describe tokotowa as an intensified or emphatic form of towa.",

Read as tokotoba until the Heian period.\nAppears to be originally a compound of 常 (toko, “eternal”, see above) + とわ (towa, “permanence, unchangingness”, from earlier とば toba).\nThis latter element is of unclear derivation. Some sources indicate that towa as an independent term arose as a contraction of earlier tokotoba, suggesting the possibility that toba was initially a compound of particles と (to, adverbial particle) + は (wa, formerly ba, even earlier pa; topic particle). However, other sources describe tokotowa as an intensified or emphatic form of towa.",
