Etymology
Kanji in this term
鶲
ひたき
Hyōgaiji
kun’yomi

Referred originally just to the 尉鶲 (jō bitaki, “Phoenicurus auroreus or Daurian redstart”), later came to refer to a number of visually similar species.

Likely a shift from 火焚き (hitaki, “lighting a fire”), from the characteristic call of the bird, which resembles the sound of striking a flint against a firestarter.[1][2][3]

Pronunciation
  • (Tokyo) ひたき [hìtákí] (Heiban – [0])[1]
  • IPA(key): [çita̠kʲi]

Noun

鶲(ひたき) or 鶲(ヒタキ) • (hitaki) 

  1. an Old World flycatcher: a bird belonging to the Muscicapidae family

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 ヒタキ.
