Etymology

Etymology unclear. One theory is that the word was an alteration of はふる (hafuru, “to throw over, to throw on”).^[1] Another theory holds that the word came by extension from how a bird interlaces its wings across its back, leading to the current kanji compound of 羽 (ha, “wing”) + 織り (ori, “weaving”).^[1] Alternately, these kanji may be just ateji.^[1]

Pronunciation

(Tokyo) はおり [hàórí] (Heiban – [0])^[2]
IPA^(key): [ha̠o̞ɾʲi]

Noun

羽(は)織(おり) • (haori)
