Etymology 1

edit

Kanji in this term
酒
さけ
Grade: 3
kun'yomi

⟨sake2⟩ → /sakəɨ/ → /sake/

From Old Japanese 酒 (sake2),[1][2] from Proto-Japonic *sakai. Cognate with Proto-Ryukyuan *sake. Attested in the Kojiki of 712 CE, with the ideographic spelling 酒.[2] Additionally, appears in the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE and the Man'yōshū of c. 759 CE.[1][2] This is the standalone form of saka- below.

Various theories exist regarding the ultimate derivation:

  • Might be cognate with 栄え (sakae), the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of verb 栄える (sakaeru, “to flourish”).[3][4]
  • Might be derived from 避ける (sakeru, “to ward off, to shun”), from the idea that drinking sake would ward off cold diseases.[4]
  • Might be derived from or a corruption of 酒 (kushi, “rice wine, rice vodka, sake”); however, the phonological shifts required are completely unexplainable.[4]
  • The final -ke may be an apophonic form of Old Japanese 酒 (ki1).[4]

Pronunciation

edit
  • (Tokyo) さけ [sàké] (Heiban – [0])[5][6]
  • IPA(key): [sa̠ke̞]

酒(さけ) • (sake)

Etymology 3

Kanji in this term
酒
ささ
Grade: 3
kun'yomi

Originally a 女房詞 (nyōbō kotoba, literally “women's word”) term, possibly derived from reduplication of the first syllable sa from sake. Alternately, may be derived by metaphor from the Chinese-derived euphemism for sake, 竹葉 (chikuyō, literally “bamboo leaves”), as 笹 (sasa) refers to a type of short, leafy bamboo.[7][5]
