Noun

IPA: [sa̠ɾɯ̟ᵝ] Forms: 猿 [canonical] (ruby: 猿(さる)), 猿 [canonical] (ruby: 猿(サル)), saru [romanization], 匹 [counter]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. Appears in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE. Ultimate derivation possibly borrowed from Ainu サロ (saro, “monkey”, from サㇻ (sar, “a tail”) + オ (o, “to bear, to wear, to carry”)). The kanji is from Chinese 猿 (yuán, “ape”). Compare Japanese 猪 (inoshishi, “boar”) from Chinese 猪 (zhū, “pig”) and Japanese 豚 (buta, “pig”) from Chinese 豚 (tún, “suckling pig”).
