Originally a compound of唐(tō,“Tang Dynasty; China in general;(by extension) foreign”) +‎もろこし(morokoshi,“sorghum”),^[1] from the visual similarities between the sorghum and maize plants.

The spelling isjukujikun (熟(じゅく)字(じ)訓(くん)) fromChinese,^[1] and appears to be a compound of玉(yù,“jade, jewel”) +蜀黍(shǔshǔ,“sorghum”, literally“Shu millet”). Compare modernMandarin玉蜀黍 (yùshǔshǔ, “maize”).

More common usage of the term is in katakana (トウモロコシ) or hiragana (とうもろこし) and perhaps never in kanji (玉蜀黍).For loose-kernelcorn, the more common term in Japanese isコーン(kōn).
