jukujikun

/takimat͡su/ → /taĩmat͡su/ → /taimat͡su/

Shift by イ音便 (i onbin, “i sound shift”) from takimatsu, itself from 焚き (taki, “burning”, stem or continuative form of verb 焚く (taku), "to burn") +‎ 松 (matsu, “pine tree”).[1][2][3] Compare the development of 続松 (tsugimatsu → tsuimatsu) of the same meaning.

The kanji spelling is jukujikun (熟字訓), from Chinese 松明.
