Etymology

Kanji in this term
樫
かし
Jinmeiyō
kun’yomi

From Old Japanese. First attested in the Kojiki of 712 CE.

Probably related to Old Japanese かたし (katasi), modern 堅(かた)い (katai, “firm; resolute”), ultimately from Proto-Japonic *kata (“hard”).

Korean 가시나무 (gasinamu), which is a near-perfect match phonologically and semantically, is probably an ancient loan from a Japonic language.
