Explanation and Etymology - (直) jiki
The Japanese word 直 (nao) is a kanji that means "straight", "honest", or "correct". The etymology of this kanji is quite interesting, as it is composed of two elements: the radical "一" (ichi), which means "one" or "unique", and the radical "目" (me), which means "eye". The combination of these two elements suggests the idea of "looking directly at something" or "seeing something clearly". Additionally, the kanji 直 can also be read as "jiki" or "tada", depending on the context in which it is used. In combination with other kanji, 直 can form words such as 直接 (chokusetsu), which means "directly", or 直感 (chokkan), which means "intuition".How to Write in Japanese - (直) jiki
