Kanji in this term
蔭
いん Jinmeiyō
kan'on

The sense “shade” is from a Middle Chinese reading of 蔭 (ʔˠiɪm^H) which is reflected as modern Mandarin yīn. This reading is not recorded in Guangyun, but is found in Jiyun as the fanqie of 於 (MC 'jo|'u) and 金 (MC kim), and is the same as the original character 陰 (MC 'im) (“shade” and a few other meanings).

The senses “shelter” and “benefit from ancestors” are from Middle Chinese 蔭 (MC 'imH). Compare modern Mandarin yìn.

The kan'on pronunciation, so likely a later borrowing.
