Glyph origin

[edit]
Historical forms of the character こな
Warring States Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Chu slip and silk script Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲けいせい形声けいせい, OC *pɯnʔ) : semantic べい (rice) + phonetic ぶん (OC *pɯn, *bɯns)face powder made of rice.

Etymology 1

[edit]

The earliest sense is believed to be "face powder". The term is then used for the color of this powder, "white", and later also the color of a face with this cosmetic, "pink". In early modern Chinese, the ancient "face powder" sense is partly reinforced by こなそこ (fěndǐ) (from English foundation). (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)

Kanji in this term
こな

Grade: 5
kun'yomi

⟨ko1 → */kwo//ko/

From Old Japanese.[1] Used phonetically to spell ko in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.[2]

Pronunciation

[edit]

Noun

[edit]

こな() (ko

  1. [from 759] powder
  2. [from 759] flour
Usage notes
[edit]

This reading remains in compounds and in certain set phrases. Use as a standalone noun began disappearing from the late 1600s in preference for the bisyllabic, and less ambiguous, kona reading.[1]

Etymology 2

[edit]
Kanji in this term
こな
こな
Grade: 5
kun'yomi

Appears to be こな (ko, powder, see above) +‎ (-na, suffixing element, meaning unclear).[5]

First cited to 1683.[1]

Pronunciation

[edit]

Noun

[edit]

こな(こな) (kona

  1. [from 1683] powder
  2. [from 1683] flour
Usage notes
[edit]

This reading began to replace the monosyllabic ko reading from the late 1600s, likely due to sound shifts and the resulting ambiguity of monosyllabic words. Compare also ancient あし (a) and modern あし (ashi), ancient はね (ha) and modern はね (hane).[1]
