===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{Han compound|豆|頁|ls=psc|c1=p|c2=s|t2=head}}.

===Etymology===
Replaced earlier {{ltc-l|首|head|id=1}} due to homophony with {{m-lite|ltc|sc=Hant|手||tr=ɕɨuX|hand}} ({{zh-ref|Sagart, 1999}}).

Several etymologies have been proposed:
* From {{inh-lite|zh|sit-pro|*d-bu-s||head}} or its allofam {{m-lite|sit-pro|*du||head}}; compare {{cog-lite|bo|sc=Tibt|དབུ||tr=dbu|head}}, {{cog-lite|my|sc=Mymr|ဦး||tr=u:|head}}, {{cog-lite|ii|sc=Yiii|ꀑ||tr=o|head}}, {{cog-lite|tbq-lol-pro|*ʔ-du²||head}} ({{zh-ref|Benedict, 1972}}; {{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}; STEDT; {{zh-ref|Starostin}}).
* {{contr|zh}} of {{och-l|髑髏|gloss=skull}} ({{zh-ref|Wu, 2006}}).
* From {{der-lite|zh|mkh-pro|*dulʔ|*duul()|to carry on one's head}}, whence {{cog-lite|km|sc=Khmr|ទូល|tr=tul}}; this is phonologically plausible since final consonants are often lost after a long vowel in loanwords ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}).
* A variant of {{och-l|豆|gloss=a kind of vessel}}, as skulls could have been used as drinking recipients; compare {{cog-lite|fr|tête||head}} from {{cog-lite|la|testa||pot; jug}} and {{cog-lite|de|Kopf||head}} from {{cog-lite|gmh|kopf||drinking vessel}} ({{zh-ref|Maréchal, 1994}}; {{zh-ref|Sagart, 1999}}). However, {{zh-ref|Schuessler (2007)}} notes that {{m-lite|och|sc=Hant|豆|tr=*doːs}} seems like a tone C ({{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|去聲}}) derivation from {{m-lite|och|sc=Hant|頭|tr=*doː}}, which may have originally meant “skull”.
* {{zh-ref|Baxter and Sagart (2014)}} reconstructs the Old Chinese with a ''*m-'' prefix for human body parts, deriving it from {{m-lite|och|sc=Hant|兜||tr=*toː|helmet; hood}}.

===Etymology 1===
{{etymid|ja|atama}}
{{ja-kanjitab|あたま|yomi=k}}
{{wikipedia|lang=ja}}
{{wikipedia|Head}}

Probably from {{inh-lite|ja|ojp|sort=あたま|-}}.  First cited in the ten-volume ''{{w|Wamyō Ruijushō}}'' of 934 {{CE}}.<ref name="KDJ">{{R:Kokugo Dai Jiten}}</ref>

{{unknown|ja|sort=あたま}} derivation. Theories include:
* Compound of {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|天}}{{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|玉|tr=a tama|lit=[[heaven]], [[sky]] + [[ball]]}}.  This is problematic phonetically, as {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|天}} appears historically as ''ama'' or ''ame'', not as just ''a''
* Compound of {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|当てる|当て}}{{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|間|tr=ate ma|lit=putting something in contact + [[space]], [[gap]]}}, referring to the head as a [[moxibustion]] point.  This is also problematic phonetically, as the shift from ''ate'' to ''ata'' necessitates a change in meaning of the underlying verb.  This is also problematic semantically, as the {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|間|tr=ma}} term refers more specifically to a {{m-lite|en|gap}} or {{m-lite|en|space}}.
* Compound of {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|貴}}{{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|間|tr=ate ma|lit=[[noble]] + space}}, referring to the most important part of the body.  However, the use of {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|間|tr=ma}} in this way is again problematic.  Moreover, {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|貴|tr=ate||noble}} appears in ''{{w|The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter}}'' dating to the 900s CE, while {{lang|ja|頭}} (''atama'') with a sense of {{m-lite|en|fontanelle}} appears in the ''{{w|Wamyō Ruijushō}}'' dated 938 CE, leaving insufficient time for either the semantic or phonetic drift required.<ref name="KDJ">{{R:Kokugo Dai Jiten}}</ref><ref name="DJR">{{R:Daijirin}}</ref>

Historically, this term first appears with a sense of {{m-lite|en|fontanelle}}, in reference to the soft place on the top of an infant's head where the bones of the skull have not yet fused.  As such, a more likely derivation might be as a compound of {{compound|ja|当たる|alt1=当た|tr1=ata|t1=not quite touching, not quite in contact|pos1=possibly a fossilized {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|未然形|tr=mizenkei||incomplete form}} of classical verb {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|当つ|tr=atsu}}, root of modern {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|当たる|tr=ataru||to touch, to come into contact}}|間|tr2=ma|t2=space, gap, opening}}.

{{etymid|ja|kashira}}

===Etymology 3===

Cognate with and shift in meaning from {{ja-r|かぶり||covering; hat, crown}}, spelled in kanji as {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|被り}} or {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|冠}}.

===Etymology 4===
{{etymid|ja|kabu}}
{{ja-kanjitab|かぶ|yomi=irr}}
From {{inh|ja|ojp|-}}; first attested in the ''{{w|Kojiki}}'' (712), with the spelling {{lang|ja|加夫}},<ref name="JDB">{{R:JDB|page=212}}</ref> in spite that the ''{{w|Nihon Kokugo Daijiten}}'' lists the first attestation as from the late Muromachi period.<ref name="KDJ2O-kabu">{{R:Nihon Kokugo Daijiten 2 Online|かぶ 【頭】|lid=200200e3bf1bXFKBlUwL|kotobank=頭}}</ref>

Cognate with {{ja-r|株|かぶ|stump; root}}, from a general sense of {{m-lite|en|lump}}.<ref name="JDB"/><ref name="KDJ">{{R:Kokugo Dai Jiten}}</ref>

====Pronunciation====
{{ja-pron|かぶ}}

====Noun====

* {{ja-r|傾く|かぶく|to [[tilt]] one's head; to dress or act in a strange or eccentric way to attract one's attention; to perform [[kabuki]]}}
{{der-bottom}}

===Etymology 5===
{{etymid|ja|tsuburi}}
{{ja-kanjitab|つぶり|yomi=irr}}

Cognate with {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|粒|tr=tsubu||round thing|pos=such as a grain}}, {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|禿ぶ|tr=tsubu||to go bald|pos=from the idea of one's head becoming ''round''}}, {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|円ら|tr=tsubura|pos=adjective||round}}, {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|潰れる|tr=tsubureru||to become rounded, as from wear and tear, or from crushing}}.<ref name="KDJ">{{R:Kokugo Dai Jiten}}</ref>

Some sources<ref name="DJR">{{R:Daijirin}}</ref> derive this as a shift from {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|円ら|tr=tsubura|pos=adjective||round}}.  However, the phonology and semantics for this do not fit (changing {{IPAchar-lite|/a/}} to {{IPAchar-lite|/i/}}, and repurposing the adjectivizing suffix {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|ら}} to instead form a noun).  The modern verb ''tsubureru'' had the form ''tsuburu'' in older stages of the language.  The ''tsuburi'' reading for {{lang-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|頭}} may more likely represent a nominalization derived from this older verb, following normal patterns for creating nouns from verbs.

Compare {{cog-lite|ryu|sc=Jpan|ちぶる||tr=chiburu|[[head]]}}.

===Etymology 6===
{{etymid|ja|tsumuri}}

From ''tsuburi'' above. Bilabial plosive {{IPAchar-lite|/b/}} becomes bilabial nasal {{IPAchar-lite|/m/}}.

{{IPAfont|*/kamipe/}} → {{IPAfont|*/kampe/}} → {{IPAchar-lite|/kaube/}} → {{IPAchar-lite|/kɔːbe/}} → {{IPAchar-lite|/koːbe/}}

Compound of either {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|上|tr=kami||upper}} or {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|髪|tr=kami||hair}} (likely [[cognate]]s), with either {{m-lite|ja|sc=Jpan|部|tr=be||part, portion}} or {{m|ja|[[辺]]・[[方]]|tr=pe||area; direction}}.<ref name="NKD2O_kōbe">{{R:ja:NKD2O|こうべ［かうべ］ 【首・頭】|lid=2002017cafc19kPS2Esy|kotobank=首-41051#w-1961085}}</ref><ref name="DJR"/><ref name="DDJS">{{R:Digital-Daijisen|首}}</ref>

This reading is listed in some sources as attested in the ''{{w|Nihon Shoki}}'' of 720.<ref name="NKD2O_kōbe"/>  However, this is based on traditional [[ruby]] glosses of the ideogrammatic spelling, and the glosses are from younger manuscripts.

===Etymology 10===
{{etymid|ja|zu}}
{{ja-kanjitab|ず|yomi=goon}}

{{IPAchar-lite|/du/}} → {{IPAchar-lite|/d͡zu/}} → {{IPAchar-lite|/zu/}}

From {{der-lite|ja|ltc|sort=す'|-}} {{ltc-l|頭}}. The ''{{ll|ja|呉音|goon}}'' reading, so likely an earlier borrowing.

====Pronunciation====
{{ja-pron|ず|acc=0|acc_ref=DJR,NHK,<ref name="NKD2O_zu"/>}}

===Etymology 11===
{{etymid|ja|tou}}
{{ja-kanjitab|とう|yomi=kanon}}

From {{der-lite|ja|ltc|sort=す'|-}} {{ltc-l|頭}}. The ''{{ll|ja|漢音|kan'on}}'' reading, so likely a later borrowing. The shift from initial {{IPAchar-lite|/d/}} to voiceless {{IPAchar-lite|/t/}} is due to influence or reborrowing from a later stage of the Chinese language.  Compare modern {{cog-lite|cmn|-}} reading ''tóu'', {{cog-lite|yue|-}} ''tau<sup>4</sup>'', {{cog-lite|nan|-}} ''tao<sup>5</sup>''.
