Explanation and Etymology - (庶民) shomin
庶民 It is a Japanese word composed of two Kanji: 庶, which means "common" or "vulgar", and 民, which means "people" or "citizen". Together they form the term that refers to ordinary or working class, as opposed to elites or nobles. The word can be used both neutrally and pejoratively, depending on the context in which it is used. The complete etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when Japanese society was divided into well-defined social classes, being the nobles (Kuge) and the commoners (Heimi) the two main ones. Over time, the word Heim was replaced by Shomin, who later evolved to Shomin-Ka, and finally to Shomin, which is the current way to refer to ordinary people in Japan.How to Write in Japanese - (庶民) shomin
