Etymology 5

| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 匙 |
| さじ Hyōgai |
| kun'yomi |
| Alternative spelling |
|---|
| 匕 |
Originally a compound of 茶 (sa, “tea”, the tōon or Tang reading) + 匙 (ji, “spoon, scoop”).[1][2][3] This on'yomi reading for a two-character term was then applied to the single-character 匙 spelling, and re-interpreted as kun'yomi.
Pronunciation
editNoun
edit- spoon, scoop used for food
- 私たちは匙でスープを飲む。
- Watashitachi wa saji de sūpu o nomu.
- We eat soup with a spoon.
- 私たちは匙でスープを飲む。
- more specifically, a spoon or scoop used for compounding medicine
- by extension, medicine
- by further extension, a doctor
Usage notes
editIn modern Japanese, the term スプーン (supūn) is used to refer to spoons in general, including spoons as found in the Western world. The term saji generally refers more to the broad, usually flat-bottomed Asian-style spoon shown at right.
The saji reading is the most common in modern Japanese when using this term as a standalone noun. The kanji spelling (匙) is rarely encountered; it is usually written in hiragana alone (さじ).
