Etymology
| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 酢 |
|
す Grade: S |
| kun'yomi |
Unclear. One theory is that this is a native Japanese term, with the su reading somehow related to the way that very sour things cause one to pucker.
Given that vinegar was historically introduced to Japan in the 300-400s from China, another possibility is that the su reading is from Middle Chinese 酢 or 醋 instead, and that this naturalized and came to be regarded as a native kun'yomi rather than a Chinese-derived on'yomi. Compare modern Mandarin reading cù or Cantonese cou3.
