The Japanese word "つい" is composed of a single hiragana character, which can be written as "辻" in kanji. The meaning of "つい" is "crossing" or "intersection", referring to a point where two or more roads meet. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the word "tsuji" was used to describe a meeting or gathering point.
