loliconとは 意味・読み方・使い方

別の表記

• lolicom, loli-con, lolikon
• roricon, rorikon (influenced by Japanese romanization)

語源

Borrowed from Japanese ロリコン (rorikon), clipping of ロリータ・コンプレックス (“Lolita complex”), culturally adapted from the 1966 American academic thesis of the same name that had its name by Russell Trainer, of itself taken from the Vladimir Nabokov novel Lolita and English complex (not from English Lolita complex, which comes from the Japanese term). Lolita comes from Spanish Lolita, diminutive of Lola, from the given name Dolores. By surface analysis, loli +‎ -con (“abnormal sexual attraction”).
