Etymology

From Old Japanese 檀越 (daniwoti) (万葉集 (Man'yōshū), 3847th poem), from Middle Chinese 檀越, from Sanskrit दानपति (dānapati, literally “lord of alms”). The earliest readings in Old Japanese were daniwoti and danawoti; danwotu was acquired later in Early Middle Japanese, with the more systematic adoption of Literary Chinese. The otsu changes to notsu as an instance of renjō (連声). See also 旦那 (danna).
