Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ljan, *lans): semantic (water) + phonetic (OC *lan, *lans).

Etymology 1

trad.
simp. #
alternative forms

Probably Sino-Tibetan; compare Chug har (phlegm), Lish hahal (phlegm), Rupa Sherdukpen nəkʰɔ̃ː (phlegm), Japhug tɯɴɢar (sputum) (Bodt, 2021). Schuessler (2007), who reconstructs the Old Chinese minimally as *(s-)lan, compares it to Tibetan ཟླན (zlan, moisture).

Alternatively, Schuessler (2007) relates it to Thai น้ำลาย (náam-laai), which is derived from Proto-Tai *laːjᴬ (saliva).

Possibly related to (OC *ljans, “to envy”) (Wang, 1982; also cf. Baxter and Sagart, 2014).

  1. drool, slobber, saliva

Readings

  • Go-on: ぜん (zen)えん (en)
  • Kan-on: せん (sen)えん (en)
  • Kun: よだれ (yodare, )よだり (yodari, )

Etymology 1

Kanji in this term
よだり
Hyōgai
kun'yomi
Alternative spelling
(rare)

From Old Japanese. First attested in the Nihon Shoki of 720.[1][2][3]

Ultimately a compound of (yo, meaning uncertain) +‎ 垂り (tari, hanging down, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, continuative or stem form) of intransitive 四段 (yodan, quadrigrade) conjugation verb 垂る (taru, to hang down)).[1] The tari changes to dari as an instance of rendaku (連濁).

Superseded by the yodare reading, once the base verb 垂る (taru, to hang down) had shifted from the quadrigrade conjugation pattern to the lower bigrade pattern in the 15-1600s: see modern form 垂れる (tareru).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [jo̞da̠ɾʲi]

Noun

(よだり) • (yodari

  1. [720–1600s?] (archaic) snot: nasal mucus hanging or oozing out from the nose
    Synonyms: 洟垂 (hanatare, vulgar), 鼻汁 (hanajiru)
  2. [720–1600s?] (archaic) drool, slobber: saliva hanging or oozing out from the mouth
    Synonym: (yodare, modern term)

Etymology 2

Kanji in this term

Shift from earlier yodari reading, due to the base verb 垂る (taru, to hang down) shifting from the quadrigrade conjugation pattern to the lower bigrade pattern in the 15-1600s: see modern form 垂れる (tareru).

First attested in a dictionary from 1548.[2]
