Japanese

Etymology 1

Kanji in this term
影	像
えい Grade: S	ぞう Grade: 5
on’yomi

/eizau/ → /eizɔː/ → /eizoː/

From Middle Chinese compound 影像 (ʔjæng^X zjang^X, literally “shadow, reflection + image, resemble”).

Uses the kan'on reading ei for the first character, and the goon reading zō for the second character. The combined reading is likely a later innovation in Japanese after initial borrowing.

Pronunciation

• On’yomi
• (Tokyo) えーぞー [èézóó] (Heiban – [0])[1]
• IPA^(key): [e̞ːzo̞ː]

Noun

影(えい)像(ぞう) • (eizō) ^{←えいざう (eizau)?}

1. a portrait (as of a person)
2. an image, a picture

Synonyms

• (portrait): 肖像(しょうぞう) (shōzō), 絵姿(えすがた) (esugata), ポートレート (pōtorēto)

Etymology 2

Kanji in this term
影	像
よう Grade: S	ぞう Grade: 5
on’yomi

/yauzau/ → /yɔːzɔː/ → /yoːzoː/

From Middle Chinese compound 影像 (ʔjæng^X zjang^X, literally “shadow, reflection + image, resemble”).

The goon reading for both characters, so likely close to the reading as initially borrowed.

Pronunciation

• On’yomi: Goon
• (Tokyo) えーぞー [èézóó] (Heiban – [0])
• IPA^(key): [e̞ːzo̞ː]

Noun

影(よう)像(ぞう) • (yōzō) ^{←やうざう (yauzau)?}

1. (obsolete) a portrait (as of a person)
2. (obsolete) an image, a picture

Usage notes

The yōzō reading appears to be obsolete in modern Japanese.
