Explanation and Etymology - (公共) koukyou
The Japanese word 公共 (kōkyō) is composed of two kanji characters: 公 (kō) which means "public" or "government" and 共 (kyō) which means "to share" or "together". Therefore, the word 公共 can be translated as "shared by the public" or "public in general". This word is often used to refer to public services such as public transportation, libraries, parks, and other facilities that are maintained and used by all members of society. The complete etymology of the word 公共 dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the term was used to refer to lands and resources that were shared by the entire community. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include public services and facilities.
