•the Reigning Emperor: standard term of address to the present Emperor of Japan
Etimoloji
今上(きんじょう) (kinjō) + 天皇(てんのう) (tennō). The former part is borrowed from Middle Chinese 今上 (MC kim dzyangX). The shō changes to jō as an instance of rendaku (連濁); also read kinshō without rendaku in older texts.
