"砂子" meaning in Japanese

See 砂子 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [sɨna̠ɡo̞] Forms: 砂子 [canonical] (ruby: 砂(すな), 子(ご)), sunago [romanization]
Etymology: The earlier attested variant of 砂 (suna, “sand”); found in the Shinsen Jikyō (898-901) with the spelling 須奈古. If this is the original form and that suna was contracted from sunago, it is likely a compound of 砂 (su, “sand”) + な (na, apophonic form of の (no, genitive marker)) + 子 (ko, “child”), with the ko changing to go as a result of rendaku (連濁); see also 掌 (tanagokoro, “the palm of the hands”), 水無月 (minazuki, “June”).
