Etymology 1

Kanji in this term
おし
Hyōgaiji Hyōgaiji
jukujikun

From Old Japanese. First cited to the Nihon Shoki of 720.[1]

  • /wosi//oɕi/

Further derivation unclear. Possibly from Old and Classical Japanese adjective 愛し (woshi, modern reading oshi, “dear, loving), from the way the ducks are believed to mate for life and seldom stray far from one another. This interpretation is traced back to readings applied to the Nihon Shoki and understandings of the 詩経 (Shikyō, Shījīng” or “Classic of Poetry).[1]

The spelling is from Chinese, with representing the male bird and representing the female bird.
