“Kotohogu” means blessing through words, expressing joy, or stating celebratory words. It arose from “koto-hoku,” blessing with words, and is still sometimes written with characters meaning “word” and “blessing.” “Hoku (hogu)” means chanting words of blessing so that good results will follow.
「寿（ことほ）ぐ」は、ことばで祝福する、喜びを言う、祝いのことばを述べる、といった意味のことばである。 「言（こと）祝（ほ）く」から生まれた語で、現在でも「言祝ぐ」と書くこともある。 「ほく（ほぐ）」は、よい結果が得られるように、祝福のことばを唱えるという意味である。
