Kanji in this term
玉	蜀	黍
とうもろこし
Grade: 1	Hyōgai	Hyōgai
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”),^[1] from the visual similarities between the sorghum and maize plants.

The spelling is jukujikun (熟字訓) from Chinese,^[1] 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

(Tokyo) とーもろこし (Nakadaka – )^[2]
IPA^(key):

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)^?}

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).
