## Japanese
### Etymology 1

Kanji in this term :
| 眼 | 鏡 |
| め Grade: 5 | かね > がね Grade: 4 |
| kun'yomi | nanori |
Probably originally a compound of 目 (me, “eye”) +‎ 金 (kane, “metal”, in reference to the metal used in eyeglass frames). The kane changes to gane as an instance of rendaku (連濁). The spelling is based on an apparent borrowing from Chinese, see the gankyō reading below.
Appears in texts from the late 1500s.

#### Pronunciation

* (Tokyo) めがね [méꜜgànè] (Atamadaka – [1])
* IPA: [me̞ɡa̠ne̞]

### Etymology 2

Kanji in this term :
| 眼 | 鏡 |
| がん Grade: 5 | きょう Grade: 4 |
| kan'on | goon |
/ɡankjau/ → /ɡankjɔː/ → /ɡankjoː/
Probably a borrowing from written Chinese 眼鏡 / 眼镜 (yǎnjìng). Eyeglasses are first mentioned in Chinese in the 1400s as 靉靆 / 叆叇 (aidai?), a transcription of an Arabic term. By the late Ming dynasty, eyeglasses appear in writing as 靉靆即眼鏡 / 叆叇即眼镜 (“aidai, i.e. eye-lenses”), using the compound term 眼鏡 / 眼镜 (yǎnjìng, literally “eye + lens”). Compare modern Min Nan reading gán-kiàⁿ.
This reading appears in texts from the 1920s.

#### Pronunciation

* (Tokyo) がんきょー [gàńkyóó] (Heiban – [0])
* IPA: [ɡã̠ŋʲkʲo̞ː]

#### Noun

眼(がん)鏡(きょう) • (gankyō)
* (military, possibly archaic) glasses, eyeglasses

##### Usage notes

This reading was mostly used by the military. The standalone term gankyō may be somewhat archaic now.
Note that there are compounds that end in 眼鏡 (gankyō) that appear to be derived from this term. However, Japanese sources parse these as deriving from other terms ending in 眼 (gan, “eye”) that are then suffixed with 鏡 (kyō, “lens”).

Kanji in this term :
| 眼 | 鏡 |
| Grade: 5 | Grade: 4 |
Cognate with mainland Japanese 眼鏡 (gankyō), ultimately deriving from written Chinese 眼鏡 / 眼镜 (yǎnjìng). Eyeglasses are first mentioned in Chinese in the 1400s as 靉靆 / 叆叇 (aidai?), a transcription of an Arabic term. By the late Ming dynasty, eyeglasses appear in writing as 靉靆即眼鏡 / 叆叇即眼镜 (“aidai, i.e. eye-lenses”), using the compound term 眼鏡 / 眼镜 (yǎnjìng, literally “eye + lens”). Compare modern Min Nan reading gán-kiàⁿ.
