Etymology

Appears in sources from the late Heian period.

Compound of 顔 (kawo, “face”, classical reading; kao in modern Japanese) +‎ 映し (hayushi, “florid, flushed”, classical Japanese; hayui in modern Japanese, only used in compounds).[1][2]

/kawo hajuɕi/ → /kawa hajuɕi/

Note that 顔 (kao) in modern Japanese was historically pronounced /kapo/, shifting to /kafo/ and then to /kawo/ by the 11th century. When combined with 映し (hayushi), the /kawo/ shifted to become /kawa/ + /hajuɕi/. This appears to be the only word where the final -o in kawo shifted to -a; this may have been influenced by the initial -a- in hayushi.
