Explanation and Etymology - (差し支える) sashitsukaeru
The expression 「差し支える」 (sashitsukaeru) is a Japanese verb that means "to interfere," "to hinder," or "to obstruct." In everyday use, it can indicate situations where something becomes an impediment or obstacle to carrying out an action or plan. The verb is relatively formal and is often used in contexts where problems or difficulties that may arise under certain conditions are discussed.
In terms of etymology, this word is composed of two kanji: 「差」 (sa or sasu) and 「支」 (shika or sasaeru), followed by the suffix 「える」 (eru) which functions as an auxiliary verb. 「差」 generally means "differentiation," "interposition," or "distinction." The kanji 「支」 can mean "support," "branching," or "obstruction." Together, these characters convey a sense of something that intervenes or interposes, translating to the idea of "interfere" or "cause problems."
Historically, the use of 「差し支える」 dates back to a time when formal language was essential for communication between different hierarchies, where the notion of obstruction or difficulty required a softer and more diplomatic expression. Over time, this expression became widely used in both formal writing and everyday conversations, especially to indicate delicacy when addressing problematic issues.
The variations in the use of 「差し支える」 are numerous in modern Japanese. Expressions such as 「差し支えがある」 (sashitsukae ga aru) can be found, indicating the existence of an obstacle, or phrases like 「差し支えない」 (sashitsukaenai), to indicate that there is no problem in proceeding with something. These variations increase the scope of usage of the term, adapting to different contexts without losing the central meaning of interference or obstruction.
