| 實蓏 (kyūjitai)
|
Gikun word derived by applying Chinese-derived spelling 実蓏 (“seeds of herbaceous plants”), a term which decomposes into 実 (“seed”) + 蓏 (“seed of herbaceous plants”), to native Japanese word たね (“seed”) to denote seed of herbaceous plants.
実蓏／實蓏[1][2] (tane) → 種 (tane)
- seed (of herbaceous plants)
- ※ 種 (tane) is a general term used for seed of any kind, including the stones/pits in the fruit of fruit trees. When written as 実蓏 (tane) however, it clearly refers only to seeds of herbaceous plants.
- ※ See 核 (tane, seed—of fruit trees—pit/stone)
