### Etymology 1

Kanji in this term :
| 毛 | 皮 |
| け Grade: 2 | かわ > がわ Grade: 3 |
| kun'yomi ||
* Alternative spelling
* 毛革
Compound of 毛 (ke, “fur, body hair”) +‎ 皮 (kawa, “skin, pelt”). The kawa changes to gawa as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
First cited to a work from 1690, but possibly older, considering the mid-1200s appearance of Chinese-derived homograph 毛皮 (mōhi). This kegawa reading appears to have mostly superseded the mōhi reading.

Kanji in this term :
| 毛 | 皮 |
