Etymology 1

[edit]
Kanji in this term
たん
Grade: S
(ateji)
のう
Grade: 5
(ateji)
kan'yōon on'yomi

Shift from 足んぬ (tannu),[1][2][3][4][5] itself a shift in pronunciation from 足りぬ (tarinu):[1] () (tari, (れん)(よう)(けい) (ren'yōkei, stem or continuative form) of the verb ()りる (tariru, to be enough)) + (nu, -ed, Classical Japanese perfective).

The kanji form is ateji (当て字).[1][2][3][4] Its regular 音読み (on'yomi), かんのう (kannō), contaminated the reading たんぬ (tannu), shifting the pronunciation to たんのう (tannō) and giving it the sense “proficient, skilled”.[1][2][3][4]
