Originally written 匈. Now ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *qʰoŋ) : semantic 肉 (“meat”) + phonetic 匈 (OC *qʰoŋ, “chest”).

Etymology

[edit]

Unclear. Noting that Middle Chinese *x- could have arisen from voiceless *r̥-, Schuessler (2007) considers it either connected to Chepang रुङः (ruŋʔ, “breastbone, center of chest”) or from Austroasiatic (compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *-ruŋ (“to shield, to protect”) > Proto-Mon-Khmer *truŋ (“stable, sty, cage”) > Old Khmer [script needed] (drooŋ, “ribcage, chest, breast”) > Khmer ទ្រុង (trung, “cage”); related to 籠 (OC *roːŋ, “cage, coop”)).

Etymology 1

[edit]
Kanji in this term
胸
むな
Grade: 6
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese. First attested in the Kojiki of 712 CE.[1] Possibly the original form of mune below.

The first edition of the Nihon Kokugo Daijiten says that this is cognate with 棟 (muna, “main roofline, roof ridge”), from the underlying idea of central or main portion.[2] However, see Etymology 2.

Possibly also related with 空, 虚 (muna, “emptiness, void”), from the idea of cavity.

Seldom used in isolation even in Old Japanese. Only found as the first element of compounds in modern Japanese.[1][3]

Pronunciation

[edit]

Noun

胸(むな) • (muna) 

  1. chest, breast

      I put on black iris-seed garments with schisandra, and though I fluff up my garments like when the ocean birds look at their chests, I say this is not good and I cast them off into the sea's waves...
  2. heart, inner thoughts

Etymology 2

[edit]
Kanji in this term
胸
むね
Grade: 6
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *munai. The apophony is similar to the phonetic process observed in the shift from 神 (kamu, “spirit, god”, older form used in compounds) to 神 (kami, newer form, used as a standalone noun); see WT:AJPX#Standalone forms and combining forms.

Alternatively, may be a compound of 身 (mu, “body”) +‎ 根 (ne, “root”). Other theories have been suggested.[4]

The first edition of the Nihon Kokugo Daijiten says that this is cognate with 棟 (mune, “main roofline, roof ridge”) and 宗, 旨 (mune, “gist, main idea, primary part”), from the underlying idea of central or main portion.[2] However, the accent of 胸 (mune) in the Heian period is HL,[4] while the accent of 棟 (mune) is HH.[5] This suggests that they may not be directly related.

Notably, 棟 and 宗 also have an older reading muna that is only used in compounds (for 宗, possibly only in place names). Meanwhile, 旨 (mune) (Heian HH[6]) appears in The Tale of Genji of circa 1001-1004, and this reading is used as a standalone noun rather than in compounds. This is consistent with other nouns that have paired vowel forms, and suggests that muna is probably the original form, and that the compound derivation is a folk etymology.

First attested in the Kojiki of 712 CE.[4]
