"欧" meaning in Japanese

See in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Affix

IPA: [o̞ː] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (おう)), ō [romanization]
Etymology: From Middle Chinese 歐 (MC 'uw|'uwX), originally meaning “to vomit” (ʔəu^X, modern Mandarin ǒu, Cantonese au²). Later taken from the first character of the transliteration 欧羅巴 (Yōroppa, “Europe”), which is identified with ʔəu (modern Mandarin ōu, Cantonese au¹). The 漢音 (kan'on) reading, so likely a later borrowing. Etymology templates: {{der|ja|ltc|-|sort=おう}} Middle Chinese, {{ltc-l|歐}} 歐 (MC 'uw|'uwX) Head templates: {{ja-pos|affix|おう}} 欧(おう) • (ō)
