### Etymology 1

The earliest sense is believed to be "face powder". The term is then used for the color of this powder, "white", and later also the color of a face with this cosmetic, "pink". In early modern Chinese, the ancient "face powder" sense is partly reinforced by 粉底 (fěndǐ) (from English foundation). (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)

### Etymology 1

* Kanji in this term
* 粉
* こ Grade: 5
* kun'yomi
⟨ko$_1$⟩ → */kwo/ → /ko/
From Old Japanese. Used phonetically to spell ko in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.

#### Pronunciation

* (Tokyo) こ [kóꜜ] (Atamadaka – [1])
* IPA: [ko̞]

#### Noun

粉(こ) • (ko)
* [from 759] powder
* [from 759] flour

##### Usage notes

This reading remains in compounds and in certain set phrases. Use as a standalone noun began disappearing from the late 1600s in preference for the bisyllabic, and less ambiguous, kona reading.

##### Derived terms

* 片(かた)栗(くり)粉(こ) (katakuriko)
* 黄(き)な粉(こ) (kinako)
* 強(きょう)力(りき)粉(こ) (kyōrikiko)
* 麦(むぎ)粉(こ) (mugiko)

* 薄(はく)力(りき)粉(こ) (hakurikiko)
* パン粉(こ) (panko)
* 微塵粉(みじんこ) (mijinko)

### Etymology 2

* Kanji in this term
* 粉
* こな Grade: 5
* kun'yomi
Appears to be 粉 (ko, “powder”, see above) +‎ な (-na, suffixing element, meaning unclear).
First cited to 1683.

#### Pronunciation

* (Tokyo) こな [kònáꜜ] (Odaka – [2])
* IPA: [ko̞na̠]

#### Noun

粉(こな) • (kona)
* [from 1683] powder
* [from 1683] flour

##### Usage notes

This reading began to replace the monosyllabic ko reading from the late 1600s, likely due to sound shifts and the resulting ambiguity of monosyllabic words. Compare also ancient 足 (a) and modern 足 (ashi), ancient 羽 (ha) and modern 羽 (hane).

##### Derived terms

* 粉(こな)薬(ぐすり) (konagusuri)
* 粉々(こなごな) (konagona)
