Etymology
[edit]The spelling is likely from Middle Chinese compound 漁師/渔师 (ngjo srij, literally “fishing + master”). Compare modern Mandarin 漁師/渔师 (yúshī, “fisherman”).
The expected reading would be gyoshi. The kan'yōyomi (irregular but customary reading) of ryō for the 漁 character is from confusion with the 猟 character, usually read ryō in on'yomi contexts and meaning “hunt, hunting”, as used in the homophonic term 猟師 (ryōshi, “hunter”).[1]
