Etymology
Unknown.
Possible analyses include:
- Related to しゃぶしゃぶ (shabushabu), itself apparently an onomatopoeia.
- Derived as intensifying prefix しゃ (sha) attaching to a root form related to べりべり (beriberi, “talkatively; a talkative person”), べらべら (berabera, “bubblingly; talkatively”), べろ (bero, “tongue”).
Listed in the Nippo Jisho of 1603.[1] Earliest appearance may be in the early 1300s during the Kamakura period.[2]
