"神木" meaning in Japanese

See 神木 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ɕĩmbo̞kɯ̟ᵝ] Forms: 神木 [canonical] (ruby: (しん), (ぼく)), shinboku [romanization]
Etymology: Possibly from Middle Chinese 神木 (MC zyin muwk, literally “god + tree”). Compare modern Min Nan reading sîn-bo̍k. The Japanese term uses the kan'on, suggesting a later borrowing. Alternatively, may have been coined in Japan as a compound of Middle Chinese-derived elements, as 神 (shin, “god, spirit”) + 木 (boku, “tree”).
