"露西亜" meaning in Japanese

See 露西亜 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [ɾo̞ɕia̠] Forms: 露西亜 [canonical] (ruby: 露西亜(ロシア)), Roshia [romanization]
Etymology: Borrowing from Russian Росси́я (Rossíja). The spelling is ateji (当て字), adopted in 1877 after diplomatic pressure from Russia to change from the previous 魯西亜 spelling, out of concern that the initial 魯 (ro) character expressed a sense of foolish. However, the 露 (ro) character was chosen for its sense of dew, from the political metaphor that the morning dew will disappear as the sun rises, wherein "sun" refers to Japan. The use of 西亜 for the latter portion is likely influenced by Chinese phonetics, and historical use of these characters to spell out the -siya portion of Rossiya in sources such as a bible translated into Chinese in 1864.
