Etymology

| 唇 | 
| くちびる Grade: S | 
| kun’yomi | 
The くち (kuchi) element is 口 (“mouth”); several dictionaries, such as Kōjien[1] gloss the meaning of this overall term as 口縁 (kuchiberi), consisting of 口 (kuchi, “mouth”) + 縁 (heri, “edge”). Therefore the current pronunciation kuchibiru may be a shift from an earlier kuchiberi. The h of heri now becomes a b in an instance of rendaku, but may not have in older Japanese.
