From Old Japanese. Appears in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.[1]
The ultimate derivation is unknown, but this might be a nativized borrowing from Middle Chinese 達 (/dɑt̚/, perhaps from the “general, common; everywhere, all over” senses?), possibly cognate with Korean 들 (deul, plural marker).
The tachi reading is analyzed by some references[2] as kun'yomi or a native-Japanese reading. Alternatively, this might be a shift from the goon reading of dachi.

Usage notesEdit
Note that tachi only clarifies that the number of people in question is more than one. It could be omitted when the plurality is already clear by context or considered negligible. The plurality marked with tachi is not syntactic. Tachi is normally used only for people.
