Noun

IPA: [ta̠ke̞] Forms: 竹 [canonical] (ruby: 竹(たけ)), 竹 [canonical] (ruby: 竹(タケ)), take [romanization]
Etymology: From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *takai. Theories on derivation include: * From 長生 (takeou) or 高生 (takahae), in reference to the speed at which bamboo grows. * Cognate with 高 (taka), 長 (take), 丈 (take) "height". * From 高景 (takakake) or つらこえ (tsurakoe). * From ta meaning "tall" (高い (takai)) + ke, ancient form of 木 (ki, “tree”). * A contraction of 痛快茎延へ (itakukihae), referring to the speed at which bamboo grows. * Ta is from Korean 대 (dae, “bamboo”) (see also 대나무 (daenamu, “bamboo”, literally “bamboo tree”)), while ke is an ancient form of 木 (ki).
