The literal meaning of the kanji for “rokotsu” is “dewy bones.” Sort of beautiful in a morbid Poe way, isn’t it?
Before I leap into the etymology, it’s important to note that while the kanji 露 (tsuyu) means “dew,” there is also an adjective that means “exposed, bare, unconcealed” and is written with the same kanji, for some wild reason unknown to me.
露(あらわ arawa) [na-adj]
1) Exposed, bare, unconcealed, naked 2) Public, open
So I should revise my above literal translation from “dewy bones” to “exposed bones.”
Originally, the word “rokotsu” was used to refer to the corpses and skeletons of soldiers who died in battle and whose remains were left to decay naturally.
Japanese linguists are unsure of exactly how it happened, but the meaning of this word eventually changed from “battlefield skeletons” to something like “so open/frank that you can see to their bones.”
