"etymology_text": "Compound of 梶 (kaji, “paper mulberry; rudder”) + 木 (ki, “tree; wood”).\nThis appears to be a convergence or conflation of similar terms in traditional Japanese shipbuilding.\n* The 加敷 or 加鋪 (kajiki, literally “additional laying”), also called the 根棚 (nedana, literally “root planks”), refers to the planks immediately adjacent to the 敷 (shiki, the central base-most planks, roughly analogous to the keel in European shipbuilding). This term has the historical kana spelling of かじき (kajiki).\n* The 梶木 or 楫木 (kajiki, literally “rudder wood”) refers to the planks at the stern of the ship, to which the rudder would be mounted. This term has the historical kana spelling of かぢき (kadjiki).\nThe finer meaning distinctions might have eroded somewhat, and all four spellings might be used to refer more generally to planking in later usage.\nFirst attested in 1663.",

"etymology_text": "Japanese sources are consistent in treating this as a compound of kaji + ki, consistent with this kanji spelling. On a surface level, this is a compound of 梶 (kaji, “paper mulberry; rudder”) + 木 (ki, “tree; wood”), which is also consistent with the historical kana spelling of かぢき (kadjiki). It is not immediately clear why this fish would be called \"rudder wood\".\nHowever, traditional Japanese sailing ship terminology combined with an alternative name for the fish may shed some light. The term 梶木・舵木 (kajiki) in this context refers to the roughly vertical planking of the stern used to hold the rudder. There are accounts of swordfish ramming ships and puncturing the wood of the stern, leading to an earlier recorded name of 梶木通し (kajiki-tōshi), literally \"rudder-wood puncturer\". The modern name of kajiki is likely a clipping of this older term. Consider also the synonym 梶通し (kaji-tōshi, literally “rudder puncturer”).\nThe first attestation for the fish sense may be relatively recent, in 1901. The longer form 梶木通し (kajiki-tōshi) is attested since at least 1847,, and the alternative name 梶通し (kaji-tōshi) is attested since at least 1712.",
