Etymology
[edit]Probably a shortening of 八多羅拍子 (yatara-byōshi), a type of gagaku rhythm that features fast repeated double-time and triple-time passages which shift abruptly.[1]
The kanji are an example of ateji (当て字),[1][2][3] perhaps chosen also for the random juxtaposition of 矢 (ya, “arrow”) + 鱈 (tara, “codfish”).
First cited to a text from 1667.[1]
