Explanation and Etymology - (課外) kagai
課外 (かがい) is a Japanese word composed of two kanji: 課 (か) which means "lesson" or "task" and 外 (がい) which means "outside". Together, they form the meaning of "outside the lesson" or "outside the task", that is, something that is outside of what is taught or required in the classroom. This word is commonly used to refer to extracurricular activities, such as clubs, sports or private lessons, that are held outside of school hours. The etymology of the word dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when the term 課 (か) was used to refer to tasks or work assigned by feudal lords to their subordinates. The kanji 外 (がい) was used to indicate something that was outside or beyond the limits. Over time, the word 課外 (かがい) came to be used in the educational context to refer to activities that were not part of the regular curriculum.How to Write in Japanese - (課外) kagai
