食べる
ภาษาญี่ปุ่น[แก้ไข]
Etymology[แก้ไข]
From earlier ภาษาญี่ปุ่นเก่า form 食ぶ (tabu, “to (humbly) receive or get”, from a superior), a verb with the 下二段 (shimo nidan) or lower bigrade conjugation pattern. This was the humble form of 賜ぶ, 給ぶ (tabu, “to (deign to) give”, to an inferior), a verb with the full 四段 (yodan) or quadrigrade conjugation pattern.[1][2]
Older bigrade tabu became modern monograde taberu due to a regular shift in lower bigrade verbs, whereby the older 終止形 (shūshikei, “terminal form”) ending in -u was replaced with the 連体形 (rentaikei, “attributive form”) ending in -eru.
Most likely cognate with 給う (tamau, “to give”, as a superior gives a thing to, or does something for, an inferior).
Compare the historical development of meaning from “to humbly receive” → “to eat”, with the modern use of the humble verb 頂く (itadaku, “to receive”) just before eating, in a sense of “I humbly receive this food.”
