Current Entry抵当 [ていとう] /(n) mortgage/hypothec/security/(P)/ (1436290)
Headword 1抵当
Reading 1ていとう
Part-of-speechn
English 1mortgage
English 2hypothec
English 3security
CommentI find Jpn/Eng dictionaries to be interesting (amusing) reading. Perhaps "hypothic" has some meaning somewhere, I dunno. I found it to be almost as helpful as the first three renderings for 抵当 in ALC/Eijiro:
1) "dead pledge"
2) "gage"
3) "monkey with a long tail"
