Explanation and Etymology - (主人) aruji
The word "主人" is composed of two Chinese characters: "主" and "人". "主" means "master" or "owner", while "人" means "person". Together, "主人" can be translated as "head of the household" or "owner". The etymology of the word dates back to the Zhou dynasty (1046 BC - 256 BC), when Chinese society was divided into social classes. The "主人" were members of the aristocratic class, who owned lands and servants. They were responsible for managing their properties and ensuring the prosperity of their families. Nowadays, the word "主人" is used more broadly to refer to anyone who is the owner or in charge of something, such as a pet or a business. It is also commonly used as a term of respect to refer to a host or hostess in a house.How to Write in Japanese - (主人) aruji
