Compound of 呉服 (gofuku, fabric, drapery; dry goods) +‎ (tana, store).[1][2][3] The tana changes to dana as an instance of rendaku (連濁). As a standalone noun, tana is usually spelled in kanji as with a meaning of “shelf, shelves”. In certain contexts, and when spelled as , the reference is to the shelves of inventory, and by extension, a store or merchant selling that inventory.[3]

First attested in 1688.[1]
