Historical forms of the character 万 | |

Shang | Western Zhou |
Oracle bone script | Bronze inscriptions |
Unknown. Used as a tribal name in oracle inscriptions. Used as a number since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
Various theories have been proposed for its original meaning:
- Qu Wanli, Qiu Xigui and others propose that it originally refers to a type of dancer-musicians. This usage is attested in the oracle inscriptions. This may be supported by ancient literature, e.g. Shijing, which mentions a type of dance called 萬舞/万舞.
- Lin Yiguang proposes that it is an ancient form of 丏 (OC *meːnʔ), acting as a phonetic component in 賓 (OC *mpin).
- Some propose that it is a differentiated form of 亥.

萬 (kyūjitai) |
⟨yo2ro2du⟩ → */jərədu/ → /jorod͡zu/ → /jorozu/
From Old Japanese. First attested in the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE.[4]
Appears to be a compound or inflection, but the derivation is unclear. Possibly related to Korean 여러 (yeoreo, “several, various”), in which case the final /-du/ in the Old Japanese might be a voiced version of the generic numeral nominalizer つ (tsu).
Pronunciation edit
- (Tokyo) よろず [yóꜜròzù] (Atamadaka – [1])[1][2][3]
- (Tokyo) よろず [yòrózú] (Heiban – [0])[1][2][3]
- IPA(key): [jo̞ɾo̞zɨᵝ]
