女神 (kyūjitai) |
By surface analysis, 女 (onna, “woman”) + 神 (kami, “god”), whereby The kami changes to gami as an instance of rendaku (連濁); may separately be a shift from ominagami above, as the omina component, meaning “woman”, separately shifted to onna in general (see etymology of 女 (onna). However, the development of the “goddess” meaning is more difficult to explain through this analysis, so a plain compound may be the more likely.
Akin to the formations of megami and me no kami above.
