Explanation and Etymology - (一体) ittai
一体 It is a Japanese word that can be written in kanji as 一体 or hiragana as いったい. It consists of two characters: the first, 一, means "one" or "unique", and the second, 体, means "body" or "substance". Together they form a word that can be translated as "unique body" or "unique substance". The meaning of 一体 may vary depending on the context in which it is used. It can be used to express surprise, confusion, indignation or emphasis. For example, if someone says "一体何がたんだ？" (Ittai Nani Ga Okottan da?), Means "What the hell happened?" or "What happened after all?" The exact etymology of 一体 is unclear, but it is believed that the word originated in the Heian period (794-1185), when Buddhism began to spread through Japan. The word may have originally been used to refer to the unity of body and mind in Buddhism, or to describe the unity of all things in the universe.
