Explanation and Etymology - (見送る) miokuru
The expression 「見送る」 (miokuru) is composed of two kanji: 「見」 (mi), which means "to see" or "to observe," and 「送る」 (okuru), which means "to send" or "to accompany." Thus, at first glance, the combination of the kanji suggests the idea of "observing while sending" or "accompanying while sending." The word is widely used in the Japanese context with the meaning of "saying goodbye" or "accompanying someone who is leaving," as in farewells at train stations or airports.
Besides its literal use, 「見送る」 also has figurative meanings. For example, it can be used to indicate the postponement or rejection of a decision or action, such as in a project that has been "set aside" or a proposal that has been "deferred." In this way, context is essential for the correct interpretation of the intended meaning.
Another interesting curiosity about 「見送る」 is its application in funeral ceremonies, where it is used to describe the act of "accompanying" the deceased symbolically to their final resting place, reinforcing the aspect of farewell of the word. This feeling of accompanying or saying goodbye carries an emotional connotation, being rooted in cultural and social traditions of Japan.
Cultural variations and uses
In Japanese culture, the idea of 「見送る」 is valued in social etiquette, where seeing off or saying goodbye to friends and family is a demonstration of respect and affection. This gesture can range from a simple farewell to physically accompanying the visitor to the exit as a form of consideration. Variations like 「見送り」 (miokuri) are used as nouns to describe the act of seeing someone off.
