From Old Japanese. First cited to the Man'yōshū of 759 CE.[1] From Proto-Japonic *takara.
Samuel Martin analyzes this as a compound of 高 (taka-, “high”) + 等 (-ra, pluralizing suffix).[2] However, this is semantically problematic, as such a compound would ordinarily refer to "the heights" as a location, and there is no clear means of deriving the sense of "treasure" from the proposed component parts.
Some sources derive this as a compound of 田 (ta, “paddy field”) + から (kara, “from”), literally “from the paddy fields”, from the way people value thriving paddy fields as a unique kind of treasure.[3] However, the sense of "from" for から (kara) does not appear until roughly the Heian period,[4] more recent than the first appearance of takara, making this a folk etymology.
