⟨to2ko2ro2⟩ → /tokoro/
From Old Japanese.[1] Found in the Man'yōshū (c. 759 CE).[2]
A surface analysis suggests that this could be an ancient compound of ⟨to2⟩ (“place”, as in 跡 ⟨ato2⟩, “footprint, track”, from “foot place, where one has stepped”) + ⟨ko2⟩ (noun-forming suffixing element denoting “place”, as in ここ ⟨ko2ko2⟩, “here”, from “this place”) + ⟨ro2⟩ (noun-forming suffixing element, apparently indicating within a general area, possibly as in 心 ⟨ko2ko2ro2⟩, “heart, mind, emotions”, 頃 ⟨ko2ro2⟩, “general span of time, around a certain time”, うつろ ⟨uturo2⟩, “hollowness, empty interior”).
PronunciationEdit
- (Tokyo) ところ [tòkóró] (Heiban – [0])[3][4][5]
- (Tokyo) ところ [tòkóróꜜ] (Odaka – [3])[4][5]
- IPA(key): [to̞ko̞ɾo̞]
The odaka version is used when:
- it is preceded by a modifier, such as in 山田さんの所に (Yamada-san no tokoro ni, “at Yamada-san's place”)
- it appears as a grammatical element, such as in ところが (tokoro ga, “however”) or ところで (tokoro de, “by the way”)

Etymology 4Edit
| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 所 |
| と Grade: 3 |
| kun’yomi |
⟨to2⟩ → /*tə/ → /to/
From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *tə. Appears mainly as an affixing element indicating place, as in 後 (ato, “after; behind; the back of something”), from 跡 (ato, “footprint, track”), itself a compound of 足 (a, “foot”) + 所 (to, “place”); or in 留まる (todomaru, “to stop in a place”), itself a compound of と (to, “place”) + とまる (tomaru, “to stop”).
In modern Japanese references,[1][3] there are various compound terms ending in -to or -do that are spelled and / or described as deriving from this 所 (to, “place”), including 隈所 (kumato, “a bent and twisted place, such as a tunnel, out of sight”), 立ち所 (tachido, “standing place”), 竈 (kamado, “kiln”). However, a historical analysis reveals that many of these terms do not derive from 所, 処 ⟨to2⟩ “place”, but rather from 戸, 門 ⟨to1⟩ “gate, door, place of entry and exit”.
