Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-ram (“indigo”); cognate with Lepcha ᰛᰤᰨᰮ (ryom), Mru [script needed] (charam), Tibetan རམས (rams, “indigo”) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2019). However, Laufer (1916) considers the Tibetan word to be borrowed from Chinese.
Schuessler (2007) considers this an areal word, possibly from Southeast Asia; cf. Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *taʀum (“indigo plant and dye”) (> Malay tarum).

Etymology
[edit]Kanji in this term |
---|
藍 |
あい Grade: S |
kun'yomi |
/awi/ → */aji/ → /ai/
From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *awoy.
There are various theories regarding the ultimate derivation, all suggesting a relation to 青 (awo → ao, “blue”):
- May be an alteration from 青色 (awoiro → aoiro):
- ⟨awoiro2⟩ → /awoirə/ → /awɨrə/ → /airo/ → /ai/
- May be a fusion of 青 (awo → ao) and い (i, emphatic particle)[1]
- */awo i/ → */awɨ/ → */awi/ → */aji/ → /ai/
- May be derived from a compound of 青 (awo → ao) + 居 (wi → i, “there is”), expressing the sense that the indigo plant contains the color blue:
- /awowi/ → */awːɨ/ → /awi/ → */aji/ → /ai/
Pronunciation

- the Japanese indigo or Chinese indigo plant, Persicaria tinctoria
