Explanation and Etymology - (機械) kikai
機械 is a Japanese word meaning "machine". It is composed of two kanji: 機 (ki) meaning "mechanism" or "apparatus" and 械 (kai) meaning "machine" or "instrument". The etymological origin of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when Japan began to import technology and knowledge from China. The word 機械 was created from the combination of the Chinese Kanji "ji" and "jie", which mean "machine" and "appliance", respectively. Since then, the word has been widely used in the Japanese language to refer to any type of mechanical or electronic device.How to Write in Japanese - (機械) kikai
