Explanation and Etymology - (捕吏) hori
捕吏 is a Japanese word meaning "police officer" or "policeman". The word is composed of two kanji: 捕 (ho) meaning "capture" or "binding", and 吏 (ri) meaning "official" or "public official". The etymology of the word goes back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the police function was carried out by officers called "kebiishi". Over time, the word "kebiishi" was replaced by "horyo", which means "capture officer", and later evolved into "horyoshi" and finally into "hori". From the Edo period (1603-1868), the word "hori" was replaced by "horiuchi", which means "capture and investigation officer", and finally evolved into "horiuchi" and "hori". The word "hori" was officially replaced by "hoan" in 1874, but the word "hori" is still widely used to refer to police officers in Japan.How to Write in Japanese - (捕吏) hori
