Noun

IPA: [õ̞nːa̠ɡa̠mʲi] Forms: 女神 [canonical] (ruby: (おんな), (がみ)), onnagami [romanization], wonnagami [romanization], をんながみ [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: By surface analysis, 女 (onna, “woman”) + 神 (kami, “god”), whereby The kami changes to gami as an instance of rendaku (連濁); may separately be a shift from ominagami above, as the omina component, meaning “woman”, separately shifted to onna in general (see etymology of 女(おんな) (onna). However, the development of the “goddess” meaning is more difficult to explain through this analysis, so a plain compound may be the more likely. Akin to the formations of megami and me no kami above.
