Etymology

edit

Altered, since this is spoken in Modern Iranian Persian identically, from غوری (ğôri, “a sort of porcelain”), from Japanese 屈輪, 倶利 (guri, “a kind of curved lacquer design used in 堆朱 (tsuishu, “red lacquer carving”) and 堆黒 (tsuikoku, “black lacquer carving”)”).

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “The semantics and phonetics match up. However, what is the transmission route? The Japanese term doesn't seem to be attested in intermediaries like Chinese, which would make the theory less tenable, as Japan traditionally had almost-zero direct contact with countries west of coastal China. That said, there were a few Persian envoys who visited Japan in the Middle Ages, providing a route for transmission.”
