シャボン
Japanese
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Portuguese sabão,[1][2][3] or from Early Modern Spanish jabón, from Old Spanish xabon.[2][4][5] The initial sh- in the Japanese term suggests that Spanish might be the more likely source, considering historical pronunciation patterns. Cognate to Okinawan サフン (safun), and distantly to English soap.
