[[file:Psetta maxima.JPG|thumb|{{m|ja||鰈|tr=karei}}: a righteye flounder]]

{{IPAfont|/kara eɸi/}} → {{IPAfont|/kareɸi/}} → {{IPAchar|/karewi/}} → {{IPAchar|/karei/}}

Originally from a shift of {{m|ja|王余魚|tr=kara-ei}} attested in the ''Honzō Wamyō'', itself a compound of {{com|ja|nocat=1|sort=かれい|韓|tr1=Kara|t1=[[Korea]]|pos1=euphemism|鱝|tr2=ei|t2=[a kind of] [[ray]]}}; it is said that the flounder was imported from Korea to Japan in the {{w|Samhan|Samhan period}}, and was regarded to the Koreans at that time as “[[beautiful]]”. From its ray-like appearance, the medieval Japanese had mistaken the flounder for such. {{rfv-etym|ja}}
