Etymology
[edit]Probably ultimately from Middle Chinese 一世一元 (MC 'jit syejH 'jit ngjwon, literally “one generation, one era”), as this practice originated in China. Also analyzable in Japanese as a compound of 一世 (issei, “one generation”) + 一元 (ichigen, “one era”).[1][2][3][4]
First cited in Japanese to 1868.[1]
Pronunciation
