Etymology 1 edit

Kanji in this term
轍
わだち
Hyōgaiji
kun’yomi

Compound of 輪 (wa, “wheel”) +‎ 立ち (tachi, “standing”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 立つ tatsu, “to stand”, here in reference to the shape of the rut left standing after the passage of the wheel).[1][2] The tachi changes to dachi as an instance of rendaku (連濁).

Pronunciation edit

Noun edit

轍(わだち) • (wadachi) 

  1. a wheel furrow, track, or rut

Etymology 2 edit
