Etymology

[edit]

According to the earliest attested form うつはる (utsuharu) in early Heian period, it is possibly a compound of (うつ) (utsu, something that doesn't exist) + () (haru, to spread).

Otherwise a corrupted form of (うつほ) (utsuho, something that is hollow) + () (aru, to be), but this is morphologically problematic because ラ行変格活用 didn't perishes till the late Heian period.
