Etymology
editCompound of 蒲 (kama, “cattail, bulrush”) + 鉾 (hoko, “spear”). The cattail plant sense is from the way the seed spike resembles a spear. The food-related sense comes from the way the fishcake would often be shaped into a tube on a skewer for roasting, resembling a cattail seed spike in shape and sometimes color. The hoko changes to boko as an instance of rendaku (連濁).. [1][2][3]
Pronunciation
