### Etymology 1

* Kanji in this term
* 蔭
* いん Jinmeiyō
* kan'on
The sense “shade” is from a Middle Chinese reading of 蔭 (ʔˠiɪm$^H$) which is reflected as modern Mandarin yīn. This reading is not recorded in Guangyun, but is found in Jiyun as the fanqie of 於 (MC 'jo|'u) and 金 (MC kim), and is the same as the original character 陰 (MC 'im) (“shade” and a few other meanings).
The senses “shelter” and “benefit from ancestors” are from Middle Chinese 蔭 (MC 'imH). Compare modern Mandarin yìn.
The kan'on pronunciation, so likely a later borrowing.

### Etymology 2
