Explanation and Etymology - (修理) shuuri
The word 「修理」 (shuuri) is composed of two kanji: 「修」 and 「理」。 The first kanji, 「修」, means to fix, repair, or amend something. It is used in various contexts related to the improvement or reorganization of something that is wrong or broken. The second kanji, 「理」, refers to logic, reason, or principle, creating a connection with the rationality and organization necessary for the repair process. Together, these kanji form the expression that denotes the act of fixing or repairing something in a logical and systematic way.
Historically, the word 「修理」 has its roots in the human need to repair damaged objects and structures. Since ancient times, people have sought effective methods to restore their possessions and maintain their functionality. Thus, the term evolved to incorporate not only the physical process of repair but also the idea of correcting faults or defects in a methodical and organized manner. In the modern context, 「修理」 is widely used to refer to repair services for electronics, vehicles, and other material goods.
