Etymology

/ɕiɕjau/ → /ɕiɕjɔː/ → /ɕiɕjoː/

May be a coinage in Japan, as a compound of Middle Chinese-derived elements 市 (shi, “city”) +‎ 章 (shō, “seal, mark, logo”).

Pronunciation

Noun

市章 (hiragana ししょう, rōmaji shishō, historical hiragana ししやう)

  1. the seal, crest, or logo of a city

Usage notes

Sometimes erroneously translated as city chapter, due to the additional meaning of chapter (of a book or other written document) for the 章 kanji.
