まんこ

Japanese

Alternative forms

Etymology 1

Unknown. First attested in the Edo period in the Kantō region, and until relatively recently use was confined to this area. Most likely theories of origin suggest:

  • a contraction of 女の子 (menoko, “female child”)
  • an alteration of 真処 (mako, “center (of the body)”)
  • a shortening of 万幸 (mankō, “10,000 happinesses”)
  • an alteration of the Old Japanese みと (mito, “genitalia in general, either male or female”)
  • a derivation from the Sinitic 門口／门口 (ménkǒu, “gate, doorway”), from a reading of menkō rather than the expected on'yomi of monkō
