haiku的词源

英文词源

haiku (n.): 1900, from Japanese haiku, telescoped (supposedly in the late nineteenth century, by the poet Shiki) from haikai no ku "jocosity of verse," originally the name of the opening lines of a type of improvised, witty linked verse. The form developed mid-16c. "Traditionally, there is mention of a season of the year somewhere in a haiku, as a means of establishing the poem's tone, though this may be only the slightest suggestion." [Miller Williams, "Patterns of Poetry," Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University, 1986].

日本传统诗句，三行为一首，通常为17个音节。来自日语，最终来自日本汉字，字面意思即排句，在古汉语俳通常指杂戏，滑稽戏，可能与相声相似。
