Etymology
[edit]/tukura pu/ → /t͡sukurəfu/ → /t͡sukurofu/ → /t͡sukurou/
Likely first attested in the Ruiju Myōgishō (c. 12th century).
Derived from 作ら (tsukura), the 未然形 (mizenkei, “incomplete or irrealis form”) of verb 作る (tsukuru, “to make”) + ふ (fu, auxiliary verb representing ongoing or repetitive action). The medial /-ra-/ changed early on to /-ro-/.[1][2]
