Explanation and Etymology - (別) betsu
"別" (べつ, betsu) is a Japanese word that means "separate", "different" or "other". The word is composed of two Kanji: "刀" (tou), which means "sword", and "切" (setsu), which means "cut". The combination of these two Kanji suggests the idea of "cutting with a sword", that is, separating something. The word is often used in expressions such as "別れる" (wakareru), which means "to separate", "別々" (betsubetsu), which means "separately", and "別人" (betsujin), which means "different person".How to Write in Japanese - (別) betsu
