Etymology[edit]

From Old Japanese. A compound of 屋 (ya, “house; roof”) +‎ 取る (toru, “to take”). First cited to the Nihon Shoki of 720.[1]

A surface analysis might suggest a derivation from 宿 (yado, “inn, hotel, lodging”). However, the Old Japanese spelling using man'yōgana was ⟨yado2ru⟩, consistent with the compound derivation above. Meanwhile, the noun 宿 (yado, “inn, hotel, lodging”) was spelled ⟨yado1, consistent with a derivation from 屋 (ya, “house; roof”) + 戸 (to, “door”, by extension, “house”).[2] Consequently, aside from the initial 屋 (ya) in both terms, yadoru and yado are not actually directly related to each other.
