Kanji in this term
うり
Jinmeiyō
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *ori. Found in the Man'yōshū, compiled some time after 759 CE.

Possibly derived as the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, continuative or stem form) of classical verb 熟る (uru), modern form 熟れる (ureru, to ripen).

Possibly cognate with Korean 오이 (oi, cucumber); compare other terms in the Japonic family, such as Kikai (ui) and Yoron (ui).

  1. gourd, squash, melon
