Japanese
Pronunciation
Etymology 1
From English career. The use of キャ for transcription here is rather peculiar given that it is typically used for the English sequence /kæ/ which is absent in the original English pronunciation. The pitch accent also somewhat indicates that this transcription is more suitable for English carrier, though Japanese pitch accent isn't known for consistently corresponding to English stress.
Noun
- a career
