Etymology

[edit]

From Old Japanese. Found in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.[1][2]

Appears to be a compound. One proposed derivation might be from 厳し (ikashi, stem of Old Japanese adjective ikashi, “grand, large”) +‎ (ita, board), with ikashi ita shifting to ika ita and then ikada.[3][4]
