"じょんがら" meaning in Japanese

See じょんがら in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [d͡ʑõ̞ŋɡa̠ɾa̠] Forms: jongara [romanization]
Etymology: Unknown. Possibly scat (a made-up word used in a song). Possibly onomatopoeia; compare English jangle. Dialect variation of ちょんがれ (chongare, “jangle”), found in Aomori Prefecture and Ishikawa Prefecture. Appearing in street performer songs of the Edo period, originally as part of the term ちょぼくれちょんがれ (chobokure chongare), a kind of street performance often performed by Buddhist monks who would sing silly, vulgar, or ribald songs and dance to gather attention and get onlookers to put food and money in their begging bowls. ちょぼくれちょんがれ (chobokure chongare) was often a line in the songs. ちょぼくれ (chobokure) is sometimes found as an alteration of ちょぼくり (chobokuri), which may be the stem form of verb ちょぼくる (chobokuru, “to speak well; to make fun of something or someone”), perhaps in reference to the silly songs sung by the monks. ちょんがれ (chongare) appears to be either musical scat, or perhaps purely onomatopoeic, in reference to the accompaniment of either the traditional 錫杖(しゃくじょう) (shakujō, “Buddhist metal staff with rings on the end”) that would jangle when struck on the ground, or bells, used to mark the rhythm of the song. Another claim is that it is derived from the placename 上河原(じょうがわら) (Jōgawara).
