オーケストラ

Japanese

オーケストラ (ōkesutora): the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Etymology

Borrowed from English orchestra.[1][2][3]

Listed in some dictionaries[4] as a borrowing from Greek ορχήστρα (orchístra). However, given the stress differences and the different pronunciation of the /r/, an English source is much more probable.

Pronunciation

  • (Tokyo) オーケ​ストラ [òókéꜜsùtòrà] (Nakadaka – [3])[1]
  • IPA(key): [o̞ːke̞sɨ̥ᵝto̞ɾa̠]
