Explanation and Etymology - (職業) shokugyou
The Japanese word 職業 (Shokugyou) is made up of two Kanji: 職 (Shoku) which means "occupation" or "profession" and 業 (Gyou) which means "work" or "business". Together they form the term that refers to the profession or career that a person chooses to pursue. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the term 職 (Shoku) was used to refer to an official position or employment in the government. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include any kind of work or profession. Kanji 業 (Gyou) originates in Sanskrit Karma, which means "action" or "work".
