Etymology
[edit]- “Mid-Autumn Festival”
- From the date of the festival.
- “buttocks”
- From the tradition of eating pomelo during the Mid-Autumn Festival, since the word for pomelo 囉柚/啰柚 (lo1 jau6-2), a variant of 碌柚 (luk1 jau6-2), is primarily used now to refer to the buttocks (Tsang, 2008). Alternatively, it may be from the resemblance of the shape of buttocks with a full moon, which occurs during the Mid-Autumn Festival (Mai and Tan, 2016); compare the semantics of English moon.
