天道

天道

1. (literary, philosophy) laws of nature; laws of heaven
2. (regional) weather

• (laws of nature): 大器 (dàqì)

From Old Japanese, in turn from Middle Chinese 天道 (MC tʰen dɑu^X). The 呉音 (goon), so the earlier borrowing.

First cited to a text from 751 CE.[1]

• (Tokyo) て​んどー [téꜜǹdòò] (Atamadaka – [1])[2][3]
• IPA^(key): [tẽ̞ndo̞ː]
