ja:刀
ja:松村明

From Old Japanese. First cited to the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE. From Proto-Japonic *katana.
Compound of 片 (kata, “one side”) + な (na, “edge”). This na element is spelled in monolingual Japanese sources as 刃 (“edge, blade”), but there is no historical attestation for any na reading for this character. A comparison with Middle Korean ᄂᆞᆶ〮 (nólh, “blade”) and modern Korean 날 (nal) suggests a Koreanic origin for this latter element.

刀引: giving a sword worn on one's hip to another as a gift at a banquet

刀に懸けて: → a metaphor for firm resolve to see something through

的

From Old Japanese.
* May be derived from rare archaic verb いくう (ikuu, “to shoot [an arrow] at something”, archaic spelling いくふ).
: The ha element would presumably derive from the verb ending ふ (fu), which has a 未然形 (mizenkei, “incomplete form”) of ha. However, this is unlikely, as verb forms ending in -fu underwent the regular f- and h- > w- shift, which would result in a reading of *ikuwa rather than the correct ikuha.
* The above phonetic discrepancy suggests that ikuha may instead be a compound of iku + ha. The iku element probably derives from root component いく (iku) meaning “shooting [arrows]”, as found in いくう (ikuu) and also in 戦 (ikusa, “a battle”, original meaning “the shooting of arrows”). The iku element might be related to verb 射る (iru, “to shoot an arrow”), or obsolete verb 生く (iku, “to live; to make something live, to make something go”), likely cognate with 行く (iku, “to go”).
: The ha element is uncertain. It might be 端 (ha, “the edge or end of something”), from the sense “the end [of the arrow's flight]”.

的所

the location where an archery target is placed


的

From Old Japanese. Alteration of ikuha above. Compare the iku <> yuku alteration in the verb 行く (iku, yuku, “to go”).

From Middle Chinese 釵 (MC tsrhea). Compare modern Mandarin 釵／钗 (chāi, “hairpin; sai (weapon)”).
This character was originally used in Japanese to mean (ornamental) hairpin, and was read with a kun'yomi of kanzashi. The similarity in shape between a hairpin and the weapon called a sai later led to this character being used to refer to the weapon. In modern Japanese, this character is read primarily with its on'yomi of sai, and is used to refer to the weapon. The hairpin sense and kanzashi reading are more often spelled 簪.

佐官

佐官 (canonical)
sakan (romanization)

さくわん (hiragana historical)

佐 (“assistant”) + 官 (“official; mandarin; courtier”). 佐 likely comes from the old kanji spellings used in titles in the military or guard under the 律令 (Ritsuryō) system, particularly the second-in-command of the 兵衛府 (Hyōefu) or the 衛門府 (Emonfu), although it was read as すけ (suke) instead, and it was merely a specialized spelling of 次官 (suke). 佐官 was not used under the 律令 (Ritsuryō) system, but it was the etymological source of the reading of the Ritsuryō rank of 主典 (sakan, “fourth-in-command”). North Korea and Vietnam use the same element, 佐, as in North Korean 좌 (chwa) and Vietnamese tá, for their senior/field ranks, while both Chinas use 校 and South Korea uses 령 (ryeong, from 領) instead. North Korea and Vietnam coined an additional rank, 상좌 (sangjwa)/thượng tá (“army colonel; naval captain”, in Han characters, 上佐), as an equivalent to Japanese 大佐 (taisa), while shifting their own cognates of 大佐 one rank higher, as in 대좌 (daejwa)/đại tá (“army senior colonel; naval senior captain”).

In Japan, however, 尉 likely comes from the old kanji spellings used in titles in the military or guard under the 律令 (Ritsuryō) system, particularly the third-in-command of the 兵衛府 (Hyōefu) or the 衛門府 (Emonfu), although it was read as じょう (jō) instead, and it was merely a specialized spelling of 判官 (jō).

[sẽ̞ɰ̃ɕɨːɾa̠kɯ̟]

Compound of 千秋(せんしゅう) (senshū, “thousand years, millennium”, literally “thousand autumns”) + 楽(らく) (raku, “comfort, ease”). The noun senses are derived from the gagaku work, which was originally played to mark the enthronement of Emperor Go-Sanjō in the mid-11th century.
