Explanation and Etymology - (薬) kusuri
The Japanese word 薬 (くすり) means "medicine" or "medication". The etymology of the word dates back to the Nara period (710-794), when it was written as 薬物 (くすりもの) and meant "medicinal substance". From the Heian period (794-1185) onwards, the word was written as 薬 and its meaning expanded to include not only medicinal substances, but also chemicals and other substances used for various purposes. The word is composed of the characters 艸 (くさ) meaning "plant" and 爪 (つめ) meaning "nail" or "claw", indicating the idea of "extracting substances from plants".How to Write in Japanese - (薬) kusuri
