"蘆薈" meaning in Japanese

See 蘆薈 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ɾo̞ka̠i] Forms: 蘆薈 [canonical] (ruby: (), (かい)), rokai [romanization], rokwai [romanization], ろくわい [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: /roe/ → /rokwai/ → /rokai/ Originally borrowed from Latin aloe. During the Edo period, this plant was known in Japan as roe, an abbreviation of the Latin-derived genus name Aloe. The kanji spelling is ateji (当て字), based on the borrowed reading of e for 薈 (which has official on'yomi of wai and kai, historical kwai), based on the goon reading of e for the separate character 會, the lower portion of the character 薈 (and the kyūjitai form of shinjitai 会). Over time, the irregular e reading reverted to the then-official kwai reading, which then shifted to produce modern rokai. Etymology templates: {{bor|ja|la|aloe}} Latin aloe, {{sortkey|ja|蘆薈}} ろかい, {{ateji}} ateji (当て字) Head templates: {{ja-noun|ろかい|hhira=ろくわい}} 蘆(ろ)薈(かい) • (rokai) ^(←ろくわい (rokwai)?)
