Etymology: kě ài (可愛) is Chinese for "cute" edit
As the article says, 'the ateji, 可愛い, has also been used. The kanji in the ateji literally translates to "able to love/be loved, can/may love, lovable."'. So the Chinese characters mean the same as the Japanese word. And in fact a common Chinese word for "cute" is "kě ài (可愛)". This suggests "kawai" is a loanword from Chinese. At least it is an interesting coincidence. Someone who is knowledgeable about Japanese should consider adding this to the article.
