From Old Japanese. Shift from earlier reading tani.[1][2] This reading persists in some modern dialects.
The kanji spelling is jukujikun (熟字訓), from Chinese 壁蝨／壁虱 (bìshī). The characters literally mean 壁 (“wall”) + 蝨 (“louse”), as an indication that ticks and mites may be found on walls.
Noun
壁蝨 or 壁蝨 • (dani)
Usage notes
As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as ダニ.
