Etymology[edit]
⟨mo(1)mi1tu⟩ → */mʷomʲitu/ → */moʷmʲidu/ → /momid͡ʑu/ → /momizu/
Shift from Old Japanese verb 黄葉つ (momitu → momitsu), from 四段活用 (yodan katsuyō, “quadrigrade conjugation”) to 上二段活用 (kami nidan katsuyō, “upper bigrade conjugation”) in Middle Japanese.[1][2]
The kanji spelling means 黄葉 (“yellow + leaf”).
Verb[edit]
黄葉づ • (momizu) ←もみづ (momidu)?intransitive †nidan
- (of leaves, archaic) to change colors in autumn (usually in the case of the 黄 kanji, "to yellow", as opposed to 紅, "to redden")
