Explanation and Etymology - (犠牲) gisei
犠牲 (ぎせい) is a Japanese word that means "sacrifice". It is composed of the Kanji 犠, which means "offering" or "sacrifice", and 牲, which means "sacrificial animal". The word is often used to refer to someone or something that is sacrificed in the name of a greater goal, whether in a religious, military, or social context. The etymology of the word dates back to the Nara period (710-794), when Buddhism was introduced to Japan and the term 犠牲 was created to describe the animal sacrifice rituals performed by Buddhist monks. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include other types of sacrifice, such as the sacrifice of human lives in wars or personal sacrifice in the name of a noble cause.How to Write in Japanese - (犠牲) gisei
