Probably originally a compound of 競り (seri, “hawking, calling out in a loud voice”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 競る (seru), “to hawk, to call out in a loud voice”) + 言ふ (ifu, ancient spelling of modern 言う (iu), “to say”):[1]
- */seri ipu/ → */seripu/ → /seriɸu/ → /serifu/
Alternatively, the final -fu may have come instead from 合ふ (afu), ancient form of modern 合う (au, “to do something together”) (thus, a doublet of 競り合う):[1]
- */seri apu/ → */seripu/ → /seriɸu/ → /serifu/
The kanji spelling is from the synonymous Middle Chinese-derived daishi reading below.
