Explanation and Etymology - (尚更) naosara
The Japanese expression 「尚更」 (naosara) is often used to intensify an argument or a situation, meaning "even more" or "on top of that." This word is composed of two kanji: 「尚」 (nao), which can mean "still," "more," or "even more," carrying a connotation of elevation or addition, and 「更」 (sara), which means "more" or "again," indicating something that is being increased or reiterated.
In the etymology of the word, 「尚」 has the root that refers to elevation, highlighting an additional or continuous aspect, while 「更」 is associated with renewal or increment. When combined, these ideas come together to intensify the situation, emphasizing the continuation or expansion of a previously mentioned circumstance or argument.
The origin and use of 「尚更」 are rooted in the Japanese language as an elegant way to add depth or emphasis in various contexts, whether in everyday conversations or more formal writings. This peculiarity makes the expression quite useful to denote situations where something becomes even more relevant or complicated due to a new element introduced. In the context of conversation, saying that something is "naosara" demonstrates that the situation was already significant and is now even more so, adding a touch of eloquence to the communication.
