EtymologyEdit
/angoː/ → /ankoː/
Unknown.
Various theories of the origin of あんこう (ankō) exist, such as from あんぐり (anguri) or あぐり (aguri, “agape, with one's mouth wide open”),[1][2] perhaps related to Korean 아귀 (agwi, “anglerfish”). The kanji spelling is an Edo-period coinage, found for example in the 1709 biology text 大和本草 (Yamato Honzō, “Japanese Biology”), formed from earlier ateji (当て字) 安康 (ankō) by adding the 魚 (“fish”) radical to each of the ateji characters. The current 鮟鱇 form has replaced the earlier 安康 form.
