"etymology_text": "⟨mo₂no₂⟩ → /mono/\nFrom Old Japanese. First attested in the Nihon Shoki of 720. Theorized to derive from Proto-Japonic *mənə.\nCognate with 物 (mono, “thing”, physical as opposed to abstract).\nIn ancient texts marked with pronunciation information, this character was always read as hito until around the late 800s, at which point the mono reading becomes prevalent. The mono reading has historically often been used with mild pejorative overtones, as compared to the more neutral term 人 (hito). This may suggest a broadening of the original “thing” sense for mono, which then was applied as a pejorative for a “person”.",
