## Japanese
### Etymology 1

Kanji in this term :
| 望 | 月 |
| ぼう Grade: 4 | げつ Grade: 1 |
| on'yomi ||
From Middle Chinese compound 望月 (mjang ngjwot, literally “to view from a distance + moon”), possibly from the way the moon is most easily observed when full.

#### Pronunciation

* (Tokyo) ぼーげつ [bóꜜògètsù] (Atamadaka –)
* IPA: [bo̞ːɡe̞t͡sɨ̥]

#### Noun

望(ぼう)月(げつ) • (bōgetsu)
* full moon
* in the lunar calendar, the fifteenth night of a lunar month, the night of the full moon

### Etymology 2

Kanji in this term :
| 望 | 月 |
| もち Grade: 4 | つき > づき Grade: 1 |
| kun'yomi ||
Compound of 望 (mochi) +‎ 月 (tsuki, “moon”). The mochi element is of uncertain derivation. It probably derives from the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 持つ (motsu, “to have, to possess; to keep, to maintain”), but the semantic relationship remains unclear. The tsuki changes to zuki as an instance of rendaku (連濁). Another theory derives it from 満ちる (michiru, “to be full, to wax”), semantically related but is somewhat problematic phonologically.

#### Pronunciation

* (Tokyo) もちづき [mòchíꜜzùkì] (Nakadaka – [2])
* IPA: [mo̞t͡ɕizɨkʲi̥]

#### Noun

望(もち)月(づき) • (mochizuki)
* full moon
* in the lunar calendar, the fifteenth night of a lunar month, the night of the full moon
* more specifically, the fifteenth night of the eighth lunar month, the full moon of mid-autumn

##### Synonyms

* (full moon): 満月(まんげつ) (mangetsu)
