Etymology: The kanji spelling literally means “time bird”, as the lesser cuckoo's timely arrival in early summer can be used as a metaphor for new life detaching from the past. See also 時(とき)つ鳥(どり) (tokitsudori) and 時(とき)の鳥(とり) (toki no tori). Etymology templates: {{ja-r|時つ鳥|ときつどり}} 時(とき)つ鳥(どり) (tokitsudori), {{ja-r|時の鳥|ときのとり}} 時(とき)の鳥(とり) (toki no tori)
