玉蜀黍 (tōmorokoshi): a botanical illustration of the maize or corn plant.
Kanji in this term
玉 蜀 黍
とうもろこし
Grade: 1 Hyōgaiji Hyōgaiji
jukujikun

Etymology

/taumorokoɕi/ → /tɔːmorokoɕi/ → /toːmorokoɕi/

Originally a compound of 唐 (tō, “Tang Dynasty; China in general; (by extension) foreign”) +‎ もろこし (morokoshi, “sorghum”), from the visual similarities between the sorghum and maize plants.

The spelling is jukujikun (熟字訓) from Chinese, and appears to be a compound of 玉 (yù, “jade, jewel”) + 蜀黍 (shǔshǔ, “sorghum”, literally “Shu millet”). Compare modern Mandarin 玉蜀黍 (yùshǔshǔ, “maize”).

Pronunciation

Noun

玉蜀黍(とうもろこし) or 玉蜀黍(トウモロコシ) • (tōmorokoshi) ←たうもろこし (taumorokosi)?

  1. maize, corn (especially corn on the cob)

Usage notes

More common usage of the term is in katakana (トウモロコシ) or hiragana (とうもろこし) and perhaps never in kanji (玉蜀黍). For loose-kernel corn, the more common term in Japanese is コーン (kōn).
