Etimoloji
Compound of 並(なみ) (nami, “average, ordinary”) + 天道(てんとう) (tentō, literally, “celestial path”, but here referring to 天道虫 (tentō mushi, “ladybird, ladybug”); the 瓢虫 spelling is an alternative for tentō mushi). The use 瓢虫 for the tentō portion is an example of jukujikun (熟(じゅく)字(じ)訓(くん)), borrowed from Chinese.
