Explanation and Etymology - (弟子) teishi
弟子 is a Japanese word that means "disciple" or "apprentice". The word is composed of two Kanji: 弟 (tei) which means "younger brother" and 子 (shi) which means "child". The etymology of the word dates back to the Nara period (710-794), when Buddhism was introduced to Japan. At that time, Buddhist monks were called "shami" and their disciples were called "deshi". Over time, the word "deshi" evolved into "teshi" and finally back to "deshi" again, but with the kanji 弟 added to emphasize the younger brother relationship between the master and the disciple. Nowadays, the word is used in various contexts such as martial arts, music, and traditional Japanese arts.How to Write in Japanese - (弟子) teishi
