See 椅子 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [isɨ] Forms: 椅子 [canonical] (ruby: (), ()), isu [romanization], [counter]
Etymology: /isi/ → /isɨ/ → /isu/ Originally 倚子 (ishi), referring to seats with or without rests used by higher court officials. With the arrival of Zen Buddhism to Japan, possibly a later borrowing from Middle Chinese 椅子 (MC 'jeX tsiX) or directly from Mandarin 椅子 (yǐzi, literally "chair" + diminutive suffix), the meaning shifted to wooden seats used by priests.
