"探す" is a Japanese word that means "to search" or "to look for". It is composed of two Kanji: "探", which means "to explore" or "to investigate", and "す", which is a verbal particle that indicates action in the present tense. The etymological origin of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the verb "sagasu" was used to refer to the search for something or someone.
