Explanation and Etymology - (洗濯) sentaku
洗濯 (sentaku) is a Japanese word that means "washing" or "laundry". The word is composed of two Kanji: 洗 (sen) which means "to wash" and 濯 (taku) which means "to rinse". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when washing clothes was a task mainly performed by women. The word was originally written as "sen-taku" in hiragana, but over time, the kanji 洗 was added to emphasize the meaning of "washing". Nowadays, the word is commonly used in everyday conversations and in laundry service advertisements.How to Write in Japanese - (洗濯) sentaku
