Explanation and Etymology - (乾) hoshi

The Japanese word 乾 (kanji) is composed of a single character that can be read in two different ways: "kansu" or "inui". The first reading means "dry" or "dehydrated", while the second means "thirst" or "thirst for water". The etymology of the word dates back to ancient Japan, when kanji writing was introduced to the country from China. The character 乾 is composed of two elements: the radical "gan" which means "sun" or "sky", and the element "mu" which means "nothing" or "void". Together, they represent the idea of an empty or cloudless sky, which is associated with dryness and lack of water.
