Explanation and Etymology - (見当) kentou
The Japanese word 見当 (kentō) is composed of two kanji characters: 見 (ken) meaning "see" and 当 (tō) meaning "target" or "goal". Together they form the meaning of "estimate" or "conjecture". The word's etymology dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when it was used to refer to an archer's ability to estimate the distance between himself and the target. Over time, the term came to be used in broader contexts to refer to any kind of estimate or assumption. Nowadays, the word 見当 is commonly used in Japanese to refer to an estimate or assumption regarding something, such as "estimating the time needed to complete a project".How to Write in Japanese - (見当) kentou
