Explanation and Etymology - (方) kata
方 (ほう/hou) is a Japanese word that can have multiple meanings depending on the context in which it is used. The word can mean "side", "direction", "manner", "method", "style", "part", "aspect" or "person". The etymology of the word 方 dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the Japanese language began to develop and differentiate itself from Chinese. The word is composed of the Chinese characters 方 (fāng) and 人 (rén), which mean "square" and "person", respectively. The character 方 (fāng) represents the idea of a square or rectangle, and is composed of the radicals 方 (fāng), meaning "side", and 旁 (páng), meaning "beside". The character 人 (rén) represents a person standing, with arms extended downwards. Over the centuries, the word 方 has adapted and evolved to become one of the most versatile and useful words in the Japanese language, being used in a multitude of different contexts and situations.How to Write in Japanese - (方) kata
