ちゃんぽん
Japanese
[edit]
Etymology
[edit]Probably borrowed from some variant of Chinese 攙和 / 搀和 (“to mix”).[1][2][3] Compare modern Min Nan reading chham-hô, Mandarin chānhuò.
The initial sense was mixed together, appearing in texts from the mid-1700s.[1]
The “noodle dish” sense is traced to a food item on offer at the 四海樓 (Shikairo, literally “Four-Seas House”) Chinese restaurant founded in Nagasaki in 1899.[4][5][6][7] Compare English hodgepodge in reference to a mixed-together food item.
Superficially similar, but probably not directly related, to チャンプルー (chanpurū, “Okinawan stir-fry”).
