Explanation and Etymology - (暫く) shibaraku
暫く (mattaku) is a Japanese word that means "for a while" or "temporarily". The word is composed of the kanji 暫 (matsu), which means "time" or "interval", and く (ku), a suffix that indicates the idea of "for a while". The word is often used in expressions such as "mattaku machi wo suru" (wait for a while) or "mattaku yasumu" (rest for a while). The origin of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the word "matsu" was used to refer to a time interval or a moment of waiting. Over time, the suffix "ku" was added to emphasize the idea of temporariness.How to Write in Japanese - (暫く) shibaraku
