As a Japanese beginner I was familiar with the word Hashi for a while, today I learned that another word for chopsticks is Otemoto.
This word is often written on chopstick wrappers. My guess is that it is more formal than Hashi ?

@Leebo Wow, I didn't know that. Any idea why the kanji has 许(moto) in it ? – Kantura Jan 08 '21 at 22:40

1Other words with もと, like あしもと and くちもと can be written with 許 as well. It's one way to write もと. – Leebo Jan 08 '21 at 22:44

3+1 for the edited question but please don't do this in future. It is a completely different question and it makes extant comments/answers look weird. This should have been a new question. – user3856370 Jan 08 '21 at 23:18
