Explanation and Etymology - (家内) kanai
The Japanese word "家内" consists of two kanjis: "家" means "home" or "family" and "内" means "inside". Together they form the term that can be translated as "wife" or "woman" within the family context. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when Japanese society was highly patriarchal and women were considered subordinate to men. At the time, the word "家内" was used to refer to a man's wife, but could also be used to refer to other family women, such as daughters or sisters. Over time, the word began to be used more generally to refer to any wife or woman within the family context. Although Japanese society has changed significantly since the Heian period, the word "家内" is still often used in informal conversations and family contexts.How to Write in Japanese - (家内) kanai
