Explanation and Etymology - (理解) rikai
"Rikai" (理解) is a Japanese word composed of two kanji characters: "ri" (理) which means "reason" or "logic" and "kai" (解) which means "understand" or "comprehend". Together, "rikai" means "comprehension" or "understanding". The word is often used in educational or professional contexts to describe the ability to understand or interpret complex information. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the term was used to describe the understanding of Buddhist texts. Since then, the word has evolved to become a more general term for describing understanding in any context.How to Write in Japanese - (理解) rikai
