Explanation and Etymology - (生涯) shougai

生涯 (shougai) is a Japanese word composed of two Kanji: 生 (I know) which means "life" and 涯 (GAI) which means "limit" or "horizon". Together, these Kanji form the word meaning "whole life" or "all life." The word is often used to describe a person's trajectory throughout your life, including your achievements, experiences and challenges. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the word was written with different Kanji and meant "the end of life." Over time, the word has evolved into its current meaning and is widely used in the contemporary Japanese language.
