毛革 |
Compound of 毛 (ke, “fur, body hair”) + 皮 (kawa, “skin, pelt”).[1][2][3][4] The kawa changes to gawa as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
First cited to a work from 1690,[1] but possibly older, considering the mid-1200s appearance of Chinese-derived homograph 毛皮 (mōhi). This kegawa reading appears to have mostly superseded the mōhi reading.
