Etymology
Probably from Middle Chinese compound 大勳 (MC *dhɑ̀i *xiuən). Compare modern Mandarin 大勳/大勋.
Noun
大勲 (hiragana たいくん, rōmaji taikun)
- a great deed, distinguished service, an excellent accomplishment, a brilliant exploit
Usage notes
- Although the term 大勲位 (daikun'i, “Order of the Chrysanthemum”) looks as if it might be derived from 大勲 (takun), it is actually composed of 大 (dai, “great, big”) + 勲位 (kun'i, “Order of Merit”).
Synonyms
- 偉勲 (ikun)
- 大功 (taikō)
