Explanation and Etymology - (変) hen
The Japanese word 変 (hen) is an adjective that means "strange", "abnormal", "different", "changed", or "varied". The etymology of the word is uncertain, but it is possible that it originated from ancient Chinese, where the corresponding word is biàn. The kanji writing of 変 is composed of the radicals "person" (人) and "change" (云), suggesting the idea of a person who has changed or is in the process of changing. The word 変 is commonly used in expressions such as 変な人 (henna hito), which means "strange person", or 変化する (henka suru), which means "to change" or "to vary".
