焼や き 鈍なま す
Kanji spelling using 鈍す; less common but still encountered in technical contexts.
Etymology Compound of 焼き (yaki, 'burning/heating', continuative form of 焼く) and 鈍す (namasu, 'to soften/temper metal'). The verb 鈍す is related to 鈍い (nibui, 'dull/blunt'), referring to making metal less brittle.
