Explanation and Etymology - (番目) banme
The Japanese word 番目 (banme) is composed of two kanjis: 番 (ban) which means "number" or "order" and 目 (me) which means "eye" or "vision". Together they form the word meaning "position" or "numerical order". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the word was written as 班目 and meant "group of people designated for a specific task." Over time, the word evolved to refer to the numerical order of something, such as the position of a competitor in a race or the order of a song in a concert. Nowadays, the word is widely used in different contexts, such as classification lists, object counting or expressions such as "First Place" (一目目, Ichibanme) or "The Last Place" (最後番目番目, Saigo in the banme).How to Write in Japanese - (番目) banme
