Explanation and Etymology - (前後) zengo
前後 It is a Japanese word composed of two Kanji: 前 (mother) which means "front" or "anterior" and 後 (act) which means "behind" or "posterior". Together, 前後 can be translated as "before and after" or "front and back". The word is often used to refer to the order or sequence of events or actions. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the ancient Japanese was spoken. The word was written with different Kanji at the time, but the pronunciation was the same. Over time, writing was standardized for today's Kanji.How to Write in Japanese - (前後) zengo
