|---|---|---|---|
| 一 | 日 | 千 | 秋 |
| いち Grade: 1 |
にち Grade: 1 |
せん Grade: 1 |
しゅう Grade: 2 |
| goon | on'yomi | kan'on | |
Compound of 一日 (ichinichi, “one day”) + 千秋 (senshū, “a thousand autumns”, poetic phrasing for “a thousand years”).[1][2][3][4]
First cited to the late 1870s.[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]一日千秋 • (ichinichi senshū) ←いちにちせんしう (itiniti sensiu)?
- [from late 1870s] a strong sense of impatience, that what one hopes for will take forever before it comes to pass: the sense that time has slowed to a crawl
Usage notes
[edit]References tend to list ichinichi senshū as the primary reading,[1][2][4] but some list ichijitsu senshū as the primary instead.[3]
An informal survey of usage patterns online suggests that both readings are in current use at roughly similar frequencies.
