"慈姑" meaning in Japanese

See 慈姑 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [kɯ̟ᵝɰᵝa̠i] Forms: 慈姑 [canonical] (ruby: 慈姑(くわい)), 慈姑 [canonical] (ruby: 慈姑(クワイ)), kuwai [romanization], kwawi [romanization], くわゐ [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: Unknown. One theory suggests that this is an alteration from 川芋 (kawa imo, “river tuber”), but the old kana spelling of くわゐ (kuwawi) for 慈姑 does not match the old kana spelling of かはうも (kafaumo) for 川芋. This is more likely a compound of 鍬 (kuwa, “plow”), from the shape of the leaves, plus an unknown element ゐ (wi). The kanji are an orthographic borrowing from Chinese name for this plant.
