Explanation and Etymology - (お手上げ) oteage
お手上げ is a Japanese expression that can be translated as "give up", "surrender" or "be dead end". The word is made up of three kanji characters: 手 (te), which means "hand";上 (age), meaning "above" or "superior"; and げ (ge), which is a suffix that indicates an action or state. The etymology of the expression goes back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when samurai used to surrender by raising their hands above their heads. Over time, the expression came to be used in other situations where someone surrenders or gives up, such as in games or arguments.
