Etymology 1
| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 缶 |
| かん Grade: S (ateji) |
| on'yomi |
| Alternative spellings |
|---|
| 罐 (kyūjitai) 鑵 カン |
Likely from Dutch kan (“cylindrical metallic container”), with additional influence from English can (“cylindrical metallic container”). The kanji is an example of ateji (当て字). Alternatively, from Middle Chinese 罐 (kuɑnH, “can; jar; tin”). The usage of 缶 is likely due to a 新字体 (shinjitai) simplification from earlier 旧字体 (kyūjitai) 罐, where the phonetic component 雚 was entirely eliminated.
