Etimoloji

Unclear. The なり (nari) portion is likely derived from the 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 成(な)る (naru, “to be achieved; to be completed”) or 生(な)る (naru, “to bear fruit”). For the わい (-wai) portion, compare the words 幸(さいわ)い (saiwai, “good fortune; happiness”) or 味(あじ)わい (ajiwai, “flavor; taste”).
