Explanation and Etymology - (何故) naze

"Naze" is a Japanese word that means "why". It is composed of two Kanji: "nani" (何), which means "what", and "yue" (故), which means "reason" or "motive". The word is often used in both informal and formal conversations to ask about the reason or motive behind something. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the Japanese language began to develop and incorporate many Kanji from the Chinese language. The word "naze" was created by combining the corresponding Chinese Kanji for "what" and "reason".
