Explanation and Etymology - (製) sei

製 (せい) is a Japanese word that means "manufacturing" or "production". The word is composed of the characters 裁 (cut) and 制 (control), indicating the idea of controlling the process of making something. The complete etymology of the word dates back to the Nara period (710-794), when the word was written as "制" and meant "order" or "law". During the Edo period (1603-1868), the word began to be written as "製" and acquired its current meaning of "manufacturing".
