Explanation and Etymology - (掲示) keiji
The word 「掲示」 (keiji) is composed of the kanji 「掲」 and 「示」. The kanji 「掲」 means "to display" or "to raise", while the kanji 「示」 means "to show" or "to indicate". Together, they form the idea of "displaying something for others to see", usually in a context of information or public announcement.
The origin of the expression dates back to ancient communication practices in villages and towns, where it was common to hang announcements in public places to inform the population about events, rules, or important notices. This tradition has evolved and continues to be present, even in modern times, in the form of street signs, informational murals, or even in digital versions like electronic bulletins.
When we talk about 「掲示」 in everyday life, we usually refer to a bulletin board or notice board, where important information is shared within a community or organization. It is interesting to observe how this simple communication practice continues to play a fundamental role in disseminating essential information, whether in schools, workplaces, or even in online environments.
