The word is derived from the terms tsun tsun (ツンツン) (adverb, 'morosely, aloofly, offputtingly')[1][2][3] and dere dere (でれでれ) (adverb, 'in a lovey-dovey or infatuated manner').[4][2][5] Originally found in Japanese bishōjo games,[6] the word is now part of the otaku moe phenomenon,[7] reaching into other media. The term was made popular in the visual novel Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.[8]
Another accepted definition of tsundere is someone who has a combative attitude towards others but is also kind on the inside.[citation needed]
