Explanation and Etymology - (国際) kokusai
The Japanese word 国際 (kokusai) is made up of two Kanji: 国 (kuni) which means "country" and 際 (leaves) which means "border" or "limit". Together they form the meaning of "international". The etymology of the word dates back to the Meiji period (1868-1912), when Japan began to open to the world and establish international relations. The word 国際 was created to express the idea of "beyond the borders of the country."
