Explanation and Etymology - (匹) hiki
The Japanese word "匹" (hitsu) is a kanji that means "counting unit for four-legged animals". Its etymology comes from the ancient Chinese character "畢", which originally meant "end" or "conclusion", but was later used to represent "counting unit for horses". Over time, the character evolved to include other four-legged animals, such as dogs and cats, and was adopted in the Japanese language with the same meaning. Nowadays, "匹" is often used to count animals, such as horses, dogs, cats, and even insects, such as mosquitoes.How to Write in Japanese - (匹) hiki
