Explanation and Etymology - (優先) yuusen
優先 (Yūsen) is a Japanese word composed of the Kanji 優 (Yū), which means "excellent" or "superior", and 先 (sen), which means "before" or "priority". Therefore, the general meaning of 優先 is "priority" or "preference". The word is often used in situations where it is necessary to give priority to something or someone, such as a waiting line or a work project. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the term Yūsen was used to describe the preference given to a particular candidate in a competition or exam. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include other situations where the priority is required.How to Write in Japanese - (優先) yuusen
