Explanation and Etymology - (粗筋) arasuji

The word "粗筋" is composed of two Chinese characters: "粗" and "筋". "粗" means "thick" or "rough" while "筋" means "tendon" or "muscle fiber". Together they form the word "粗筋", which can be translated as "sketch" or "skeleton" of a history, literary work or play. The etymology of the word dates back to ancient China, where writers and playwrights used to create rudimentary sketches of their stories before they started writing the full text. These sketches were called "粗筋" and served as a kind of guide for the development of the plot, characters and dialogues. Over time, the word "粗筋" began to be used in other contexts, such as the art of painting, where it refers to the preliminary sketch of a work, or in music, where it refers to the basic structure of a composition. Nowadays, the word "粗筋" is widely used in Chinese culture to refer to any kind of preliminary sketch or draft, whether in literature, visual arts or music.
