(hakama, traditional Japanese trousers)
Kanji in this term
はかま
Jinmeiyō
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese. Attested in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.

Appears to be a compound deriving ultimately from 穿か (haka, the 未然形 (mizenkei, incomplete form) or a sound shift from some other conjugation of verb 穿く (haku, to pull onto the lower body (such as trousers))) +‎ (ma, robes, sound shift from expected reading mo).[1]

The loincloth sense is attested earlier in the Nihon Shoki, finished in 720 CE.[2] Other sources[1] also cite the Nihon Shoki for the trousers sense, possibly suggesting confusion regarding the meaning of the term as used in that text.
