Explanation and Etymology - (ご無沙汰) gobusata
ご無沙汰 It is a Japanese word that means "long time without communication" or "lack of contact for a long time". The word is composed of three Kanji: ご (GO) means "honorable", 無 (MU) means "no" or "without", and 沙汰 (sata) means "communication" or "news". The origin of the word dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when people used to send letters to maintain contact with friends and family.
