  • 松 (Written Standard Chinese?)
  • 松 (Cantonese)

Miyake (1997), apud Schuessler (2007), associated 松 (OC *sɢloŋ) with Old Japanese 杉 (sugi2, “cryptomeria”); superficially similar to Thai สน (sǒn, “pine”).

The regular Mandarin pronunciation as predicted from Middle Chinese is sóng. The sound change to the yinping (陰平／阴平) pronunciation in Mandarin dialects is to avoid homophony with the word 㞞／𪨊 (sóng, “semen”).

Etymology

[edit]
Kanji in this term
松
まつ
Grade: 4
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese. Attested in the Kojiki of 712 and the Man'yōshū of 759.[4][5] In turn, from Proto-Japonic *matu.

Various theories exist regarding its ultimate origin:[4]

  • Might be a shift from 保つ (tamotsu, “to hold”). However, the accent of 保つ (tamotsu) in the Heian period is HHL, while 松 (matsu) is LH. It can be better derived from 持つ (motsu, “to hold, to carry”), which has LF accent in the Heian period.
  • Might be from 待つ (matsu, “to wait”), either from the way that a pine tree must wait for leaves to fall to grow new ones, or from the way that it lasts ten thousand years and preserves its color. The accent of 待つ (matsu) is LF.
  • Possibly derived from 全く (mataku, “entirely”), from 全い (matai, “complete”), because it spends its time in the snow for winter. However, the classical term 全し (matasi) is HHF in the Heian period.
  • From 睫毛 (matsuge, “eyelashes”), since their leaves represent such. However, it requires deletion of the -ge, and matsuge is certainly from 目 (ma-, “eye”).
  • From 真常木 (matonoki, “true eternal tree”), as the pine tree is an evergreen tree.
  • From a place name 松のむらたち (MATSU no muratachi), as opposed to muratatsu.
  • From 芽厚 (meatsu, literally “bud (that feels) hot”).
  • From 纏わる (matsuwaru, “get wrapped around”), as the leaves are around the trunk.
  • From 真 (ma-, “true”) + つ (tsu, abbreviation of 約まる (tsuzumaru, “to shrink”)).
  • From 間千 (machi, literally “space (of) thousands”).
  • A shift from 股 (mata, “crouch”), as the pine tree leaves split into two.
