Etymology
⟨asipi1ki2 no2⟩⟨asipi1ki1 no2⟩ → */asipʲikɨ nə/*/asipʲikʲi nə/ → /aɕiɸiki no/ → /aɕihiki no//aɕibiki no/
From Old Japanese.
Original derivation unknown,[1] various theories exist. The kanji spelling literally means “foot-dragging”, possibly implying a sense of “climbing while ‘pulling’ one's legs” → “foot-aching, foot-wearying” → “rugged”. However, analysis of Old Japanese vowels imply that about 80% of the Old Japanese poems use pi1ki2 more than pi1ki1, and 引き (pi1ki1 → hiki, “pulling”) is not the original derivation but rather a later development in the Man'yōshū (c. 759 CE).
Sometimes the hiki is voiced due to rendaku (連濁) as ashibiki no,[1] attested since the late medieval era.[2]

Etymology
Unknown, theories include:
- The kanji spelling literally means “foot-dragging”, possibly implying a sense of “climbing while ‘pulling’ one's legs” → “foot-aching, foot-wearying” → “rugged”. However, analysis of Old Japanese vowels imply that about 80% of the Old Japanese poems use pi1ki2 more than pi1ki1 and 引き (pi1ki1, “pulling”), is not the original derivation but rather a later development in the Man'yōshū (c. 759 CE). Furthermore, the verb 引く (pi1ku, “to pull”) was never attested as a 上二段活用 (kami nidan katsuyō, “upper bigrade conjugation”) verb expected of pi1ki2 as both a 未然形 (mizenkei, “incomplete form”) and 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem form”).
- The alternative spelling 日木 (*pi1ki2) literally means “sun tree”, alluding to hinoki cypresses. However, this pi1ki2 is probably unattested, the expected word would have been pi1no2ki2 (modern hinoki).
