Explanation and Etymology - (肩) kata
肩 (かた, kata) is a Japanese word that means "shoulder". It is composed of the kanji 肩, which means "shoulder" and is pronounced as "ken" or "kata", and the hiragana かた, which is the Japanese reading of the word. The etymological origin of the word is uncertain, but it is believed to have come from the ancient Japanese word "katai", which means "rigid" or "hard", in reference to the stiffness of the shoulders. The word is commonly used in expressions such as 肩をすくめる (kata wo sukumeru), which means "to shrug one's shoulders", and 肩を落とす (kata wo otosu), which means "to feel discouraged".How to Write in Japanese - (肩) kata
