汗 | 疹 |
あせ Grade: S |
も Hyōgai |
kun'yomi | jukujikun |
Compound of 汗 (ase, “sweat”) + uncertain element も (mo) or ぼ (bo). According to one theory, this may be an alteration of 疣 (ibo, imo, “wart, verruca”). This same ibo / imo element appears in the reading for 疱瘡 (imogasa), an archaic word for a pockmark or a pox and sometimes shortened to just imo.
The use of the 疹 kanji to spell the -mo portion is an example of jukujikun (熟字訓).
