Explanation and Etymology - (生物) seibutsu
生物 It is a Japanese word composed of two Kanji characters: 生 (I know, shou) which means "life" or "birth" and 物 (butsu, mono) which means "thing" or "object". Therefore, the word 生物 can be translated literally as "living thing" or "living object". The etymology of the word 生物 dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the Japanese language began to be written with Chinese characters (Kanji). The word 生物 was created from the combination of characters 生 and 物, which were already used separately to refer to concepts related to life and nature. Nowadays, the word 生物 is widely used in the Japanese language to refer to living beings in general, including plants, animals and microorganisms. It is also common to use the word 生物学 (Seibutsugaku), which means "biology", that is, the science that studies living beings.How to Write in Japanese - (生物) seibutsu
