Etymology

From Old Japanese, of unknown derivation; some theories include:

  1. 六 (む) (mu, “six”) + 十 (か) (ka, "ten" or meaningless ateji, see 五十嵐) + 手 (て) (te, “hand”), literally "sixty hands"; centipedes have more or less than one hundred legs, or
  2. ももがて (momo ga te): 百 (もも) (momo, “hundred”) + が (ga, historical possessive) + 手 (て) (te, “hand”), litereally "hundred hands" (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

The kanji, from Chinese 百足, are jukujikun (熟字訓).
