Etymology
editLikely a compound of 戸 (to, “door”) + 陰 (kage, “shadow”), possibly from the notion that the lizards live in the shade of doors, or that they live in shadow, especially when indoors,[1] or are thought to be crawling on doors and their dark coloring can be mistaken for their shadow. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) Alternatively, perhaps from 疾隠 (toku kakure “quickly hiding”) or 敏駆 (tokake “nimble runner”).[1]
Orthographic borrowing from Chinese 蜥蜴 (xīyì).
