Etymology 2
edit| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 倭 |
| わ Jinmeiyō |
| on'yomi |
From Middle Chinese 倭 (MC 'wa). Various theories suggest that 倭 was influenced by Old Japanese 我 (wa, “I, me”) or referring to the practice of bowing among the ancient Japanese.
Pronunciation
editProper noun
editUsage notes
editDuring the Nara period, Japanese scholars believed that 倭 was derogatory as a name for their own country, because the Chinese word depicted a man bending down. Around 757 CE, Japan replaced 倭 with 和 (Wa), which had the same pronunciation in Old Japanese, but instead meant "harmonious".
