映日果 一熟 |
The kanji spelling 無 (“no”) + 花 (“flower”) + 果 (“fruit”) is an example of jukujikun (熟字訓), to denote a tree that bears fruit without flowering. The いちじく (ichijiku) reading is possibly a Japanese corruption of Middle Chinese 映日果 (ʔˠiæŋH ȵiɪt̚ kuɑX, “fig”), itself a transcription of Persian انجیر (anjir, “fig”) + 果 (kuɑX).
