Etymology

From Old Japanese, first attested in the Nihon Shoki (720 CE).

Originally a compound of 人 (ひと) (hito, “man, person”) + と (to, combining particle) + 為 (な)り (nari, the 連 (れん)用 (よう)形 (けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 為 (な)る (naru, “to become”).).[1][2]

The kanji spelling is jukujikun (熟字訓), borrowed from Chinese 為人.
