Attested in the Kojiki (712 CE).
The name of the kami is derived from:
* 天 (ama, “heaven, sky”, combining form) + つ (tsu, Old Japanese possessive particle) + 彦 (hiko, “boy”, euphemism; here spelled 日高)
* 彦 (hiko, here spelled 日子) + 渚 (nagisa, “water's edge”, spelled with 波) + 丈 (take, “length; all”, spelled with 限建)
* 鵜 (u, “cormorant”) + 茅葺き (kayafuki, “thatched roof”, with rendaku (連濁) shift; spelled with 葺草葺) + 合えず (aezu, “not completing”), negative 已然形 (izenkei, “realis form”) of 合う (au, “to unite → to finish”, spelled with 不合)
* 命, 尊 (mikoto) is a sacred title suffixed to Shinto deities.
The irregular kanji spellings are a combination of ateji (当て字) and jukujikun (熟字訓).
The name of the deity would likely mean the “son of the god come from heaven, born before the hut at the water's edge had been completely thatched with cormorant feathers”.

kerokero (romanization)

2013 September 4, “「ケロケロボイス」だけじゃない～声をもっと活用しよう~ボコーダーとオートチューン、トーキングモジュレーターって何？”, in Digiland [Digiland], 島村楽器:

Honrai wa “sukoshi ontei ga hazureta kasho o medatanai kurai ni shūsei shimashō”…to iu mokuteki datta no desu ga, furuku wa 1998-nen no Shēru no “Birību”(kore Shēru efekuto to mo yobareta sō),2000-nen atari kara wa Dafuto Panku, Tī-Pein to itta ātisuto ga, ontei o “kyokutan ni hosei shita” iwayuru “kerokero boisu” o tayō shi ima ni itatteimasu.

本来は「少し音程が外れた箇所を目立たないくらいに修正しましょう」…という目的だったのですが、古くは1998年のシェールの「Believe」（これシェール・エフェクトとも呼ばれたそう）、2000年あたりからはダフト・パンク、T-Painといったアーティストが、音程を「極端に補正した」いわゆる「ケロケロボイス」を多用し今に至っています。

T-Pain ティーペイン

Although it was originally for the purpose of "fixing off-pitch places subtly…", since Cher's "Believe" of 1998 (apparently this was also known as the Cher effect), and since the 2000s, artists, such as Daft Punk and T-Pain, have often used the so-called "croaking voice", where pitch is "corrected to the extreme", up to this day.

2016 December 29, “【EDM, House, Electronic, Dance, Discoなどに！】ボカロでダフトパンク風ロボットボイスを作ってみよう！〜VOCALOID4 Editorでのケロケロボイス（ロボットボイス）の作り方”, in VOCALOID [VOCALOID, VOCALOID], ヤマハ株式会社 [Yamaha Corporation]:

2024 January 24, 巽英俊, “BOSSの高性能ボーカルエフェクターは配信主のよき相棒だ”, in ギズモード・ジャパン [Gizmodo Japan]:

Adding effects to the vocals, such as croaking voice, robot voice, or a noisy lo-fi voice, etc., greatly widens the expression of a piece of music.

ケロケロ声やロボット声、あるいはノイジーなローファイ声など、声に色付けすると楽曲の表現がぐっと広がります。

Kerokero-goe ya robotto-goe, arui wa noijī na rōfai-goe nado, koe ni irozukesuru to gakkyoku no hyōgen ga gutto hirogarimasu.

角隠し

角隠し (canonical)
tsuno kakushi (romanization)

Daijirin
Daijisen
Edo period
Heian period
Tsunokakushi
ja:松村明
ja:角隠し

By surface analysis, 角 (tsuno, “horn”) + 隠し (kakushi, “hiding; hider”, 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 隠(かく)す (kakusu, “to hide something”).). Appears in texts from the early 1800s.
This derivation is listed in some sources as a reference to hiding a bride's "horns" of anger, jealousy, or other negative qualities, in order to present a more virtuous image for the wedding. However, this interpretation might be a folk etymology resulting from a shift in the reading and meaning.
This specific headdress is described as arising in the Edo period as something worn by women when visiting a Buddhist temple. In certain Buddhist sects, women visitors to temples were required to cover their hairlines in front, also known as the 角 (sumi, literally “corner”; the hairline sense possibly in reference to a widow's peak, or in reference to the top "edge" or "corners" of the forehead), the same portion of the hairline that was traditionally shaved off in men's fashions. The headdress may have been known originally as a 角隠し (sumi kakushi, literally “front-hairline hider”).
Such a shift may have been facilitated by the existence of partial synonym 角帽子 (tsuno bōshi, literally “horn hat”, also read as sumi bōshi in different contexts), originally referring to a different kind of headdress used since at least the Heian period of 794–1185. This consisted of a triangular piece of material with one corner pointing straight up from the wearer's forehead, and 角 (tsuno, “horn”) referred to the peak of the triangle.

[d͡ʑo̞ːɕa̠çisːɨi]

(Can we date this quote?), “Chapter 1.1”, in Helen Craig McCullough, transl., 平家物語 [The Tale of the Heike]:

The sound of the Gion Shōja bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sāla flowers reveals the truth that the prosperous must decline. The proud do not endure, they are like a dream on a spring night; the mighty fall at last, they are as dust before the wind.

祇園精舎の鐘の声、諸行無常の響き有り。沙羅双樹の花の色、盛者必衰の理を顕す。驕れる者も久しからず、唯春の夜の夢の如し。猛き者も遂には滅びぬ、偏に風の前の塵に同じ。

Gionshōsha no kane no koe, shogyō mujō no hibiki ari. Sarasōju no hana no iro, jōshahissui no kotowari o arawasu. Ogoreru mono mo hisashikarazu, tada haru no yoru no yume no gotoshi. Takeki mono mo tsui ni wa horobinu, hitoeni kaze no mae no chiri ni onaji.
