From Old Japanese,[1][2] possibly from Proto-Japonic *tantay on the basis of the obsolete noun 蓼水 (tadami, “a broth made from knotweed that is added to miso”), in spite that very few Ryukyuan cognates exist and the first attestation of the compound was in the mid-Heian period.[3]
Attested in the Man'yōshū of 759.[1][2]
