Compound of 祖父 (ōji, “grandad, old man”) + が (ga, “-'s”, Old Japanese possessive particle) + 陰嚢 (fuguri, “scrotum”),[1][2][3][4] presumably from a vague visual similarity. The spelling is from Middle Chinese. First cited in the 本草和名 (Honzō Wamyō, “Japanese Names of Medicinal Plants”), the oldest surviving medical work in Japanese.[1]

しょう Hyōgaiji |
| on’yomi | |
Might be from Middle Chinese 螵蛸 (MC phjiew sjew), or might instead be a relatively recent borrowing from written Chinese 螵蛸 (piāoxiāo). This hyōshō pronunciation is not listed in dictionaries consulted to date,[1][2][3][4][5] and online searches of the Japanese web suggest that this pronunciation might be limited to Chinese medicine contexts.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
- [date uncertain] (traditional Chinese medicine) a mantis egg case
