Explanation and Etymology - (素人) shirouto
素人 (shirōto) is a Japanese word that refers to a person who is inexperienced or amateur in a certain subject. The word is composed of the characters 素 (sō), meaning "simple" or "basic", and 人 (hito), meaning "person". The etymology of the word goes back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when the entertainment culture developed and many common people began to perform in theater, music and dance shows.
