神 |
かみ Grade: 3 |
kun’yomi |
Alternative spelling |
---|
神 (kyūjitai) |
⟨kami2⟩ → */kamɨ/ → /kami/
From Old Japanese, ultimately from Proto-Japonic *kamuy.
Not related to 上 (kami1 → kami, “top, upper”) or 髪 (kami, “hair”). Possibly cognate with Korean 검 (geom, “god, spirit”).
Often appears in compounds as kamu- or kan-, indicating that kami is a bound or fused form deriving from */kamu.i/. Note that this final i may be the Old Japanese emphatic nominative particle い (i), likely cognate with Korean nominative particle 이 (i). Such fusion has occurred in other Japanese terms, such as 目 (me, “eye”, from ma + i) or 酒 (sake, “sake, liquor”, from saka + i).
Compare Ainu カムィ (kamuy, “god”).
PronunciationEdit
NounEdit
- (Shinto) a spirit or an essence present in all things, the main subject of worship of Shinto
- (by extension, religion) a deity, god
- (by extension) thunder
- a Shinto shrine
- a person of outstanding talent or skill
- (Internet slang, attributive) something amazing; great; fantastic; awesome
