Etymology 1
| Kanji in this term
|
| 壁

蝨
|
| だに

| Grade: S
|
Hyōgai
|
| jukujikun

/tani/ → /dani/
From Old Japanese. Shift from earlier reading tani.[1][2] This reading persists in some modern dialects.
The kanji spelling is jukujikun (熟字訓), from Chinese 壁蝨 / 壁虱 (bìshī). The characters literally mean 壁 (“wall”) + 蝨 (“louse”), as an indication that ticks and mites may be found on walls.
Pronunciation
Noun
壁蝨 or 壁蝨 • (dani)
- a tick, a mite: any of various small parasitic arachnids of subclass Acari
- (derogatory, figurative) a parasite, a layabout, a moocher: someone who lives off other people
Usage notes
As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as ダニ (dani).
