kun'yomi

Alternative spelling
家

From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *ya.

The semantics appear to have been extended as follows: "house, place of residence" (as in 宮(みや) (miya, “shrine, the place where a god resides”)) > "place (of human occupation or use)" (as in 小屋(こや) (koya, “hut, shed”)) > "shop, establishment (of a particular trade/business)" (as in パン屋(や) (pan'ya, “bakery”)) > "-er (someone of a particular trade/business)" (as in パン屋(や) (pan'ya, “baker”)) > "-er (someone with a particular characteristic)" (as in 寂(さび)しがり屋(や) (sabishigariya, “one susceptible to loneliness”). The semantic transferral between an establishment and the professional associated with it may be seen (though in opposite order) in the use of English doctor in reference to the doctor's office (as in phrases like "going to the doctor").
