IPA: [bõ̞ɰ̃sa̠i] Forms: 盆栽 [canonical] (ruby: (ぼん), (さい)), bonsai [romanization]
Etymology: Borrowed from written Chinese 盆栽 (pénzāi) as a kind of calque of the older Japanese term 鉢植え (hachiue, “potted plant”, literally “pot + planting”), based on the synonymous meanings of the individual kanji: 盆 (bon) can refer to a pot, while 栽 (sai) can refer to a plant. First cited to a collection of 漢詩 (kanshi, “Chinese-style poetry”) from 1832.
