あまねし

Etymology
Unclear. The initial element ama- may be related to, , and.

Almost certainly related to and. One theory suggests a relationship with Korean through Middle Korean, where  would be the base form whilst  and  would be forms that have a prefix attached. However, this theory is problematic for several reasons:
 * The relationship with ama- described above.
 * Whilst in  is likely the beautification prefix, as seen in  and , there is no such etymologically regularly seen and semantically consistent prefix * known.
 * Middle Korean is usually, though somewhat speculatively, connected to Sino-Korean . This form displaced native, the older form, which would more likely be the form that would have some sort of genetic or loanword relationship with Japanese.

Adjective

 * 1)  universal, wide
