Explanation and Etymology - (結核) kekkaku
The Japanese word 結核 (けっかく, kekkaku) is composed of two kanji: 結 (ke) meaning "union" or "connection" and 核 (kaku) meaning "core" or "essence". Together they form the term meaning "tuberculosis", an infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs. Tuberculosis is a disease that has been known since ancient times and has affected many people throughout history. In Japan, tuberculosis was one of the main causes of death during the Meiji period (1868-1912), when the country underwent a major social and economic transformation. The disease was known as the "white disease" (白病, hakubyou) due to the pallor it caused to the patients' skin. Currently, tuberculosis is still a serious disease in many parts of the world, especially in developing countries. However, thanks to advances in medicine and public health, the incidence of the disease has declined in many countries.How to Write in Japanese - (結核) kekkaku
