⟨kutu⟩: */kutu/ → /kut͡su/
From Old Japanese. Found in the Man'yōshū poetry compilation, completed circa 759.[1]
Ultimate derivation unclear. Some Japanese sources suggest a borrowing from or cognate with Korean 구두 (gudu, “shoes”),[2] but then some Korean sources suggest that the Korean term was borrowed from Japanese 靴 (kutsu, “shoes”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
