Glyph origin

[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *djul) : semantic (speak) + phonetic (OC *tjul).

Etymology 1

[edit]
trad.
simp.

From *du + *-i (suffix in independent pronouns); cognate with (OC *du, “who”), (OC *djɯwɢ, “which one; who”) (Schuessler, 2007). In other Sino-Tibetan languages, compare Mizo (who; which), Chepang दोह् (what), Proto-Kuki-Chin *tuu (who; which (relativizer)) (Schuessler, 2007; STEDT).

Etymology 1

[edit]
Kanji in this term
だれ
Grade: S
kun'yomi

/tare//dare/

From earlier tare.[1][2][3][4]

The dare form appears from around the Edo period.[3] The voicing of the initial /t-/ to /d-/ is likely by analogy with other interrogative demonstratives 何れ (dore, which one), 何処 (doko, where). See etymology 2

Now the primary form, replacing earlier tare.

Etymology 2

[edit]
Kanji in this term
たれ
Grade: S
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese, first attested in the Kojiki (712 CE) alongside its older form ta (see below).

Derived from older (ta, who) + (re, thing, demonstrative nominalizer ending). Compare the formation of これ (kore, this) from (ko, this) + , (kare, that one, that person) from (ka, that) + (​re), etc.

Superseded by dare above starting from around the Edo period.[2][3] The tare form does not appear to be used anymore outside of poetry or intentionally archaic text.
