From Old Japanese.[1], from Proto-Japonic *pa. Probably distinct from the Old Japanese verb 生ゆ (hayu, to sprout, to grow) → modern 生える (haeru) and (hana, flower) and instead related to (ha, feather; wing). Probably also cognate with (ha, tooth) from the way that both sprout and then later fall, and with (ha, blade) from similarities in shape. Compare English blade.
