köken: Derived as the 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 洒(しゃ)落(れ)る (shareru, “to be witty; to be stylish or dapper”). The spelling is an example of phonetic ateji (当(あ)て字(じ)), ultimately from Chinese 灑落 /洒落 (sǎluò, “confident and at ease; natural and elegant”). First cited to the late 1600s.
köken: First attested in 1817. From szó (“word”) + játék (“play”). Calque of German Wortspiel. Created during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries.
