Etymology 3

Kanji in this term
床	板
しょう Grade: S	ばん Grade: 3
kan'yōon

Possibly from written Chinese 床板 (chuángbǎn, literally “bed + board”). However, given the difference in meaning and the late appearance of the Japanese term (first cited in 1928), the Japanese term is perhaps more likely a coinage in Japanese from Middle Chinese-derived elements, as a compound of 床 (shō, “floor”) +‎ 板 (ban, “board”).

Pronunciation

• (Tokyo) しょーばん [shòóbáń] (Heiban – [0])
• IPA^(key): [ɕo̞ːbã̠ɴ]

Noun

床(しょう)板(ばん) • (shōban) ^{←しやうばん (syauban)?}

1. [from 1928] floorboard, wooden flooring

Usage notes

As an on'yomi term, this appears to be used in more restricted technical contexts than yukaita.

Homophonous with, and occasionally conflated with, 床版 (shōban, “deck (as of a bridge); floor slab (uncommon synonym of スラブ (surabu))”). Some sources even list this as an alternative spelling of 床板 (shōban, “floorboard”), but usage observed online suggests that these are more commonly treated as separate terms.
