Etymology

Borrowed from Dutch kamille.^[1] ツ represented 促音 (sokuon) at a time when Japanese did not have an orthographical distinction between ツ and ッ, and a geminated r was (and still is) foreign to Japanese; hence a spelling pronunciation of kamitsure instead of kamirre.

Pronunciation

(Tokyo) カミツレ [kàmíꜜtsùrè] (Nakadaka – [2])^[1]
(Tokyo) カミツレ [kàmítsúré] (Heiban – [0])^[1]
IPA^(key): [ka̠mʲit͡sɨɾe̞]

Noun

カミツレ • (kamitsure)

chamomile
