Explanation and Etymology - (説明) setsumei
説明 (せつめい) is a Japanese word that means "explanation" or "description". The word is composed of two Kanji: 説 (せつ) which means "explain" or "theory" and 明 (めい) which means "clear" or "bright". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when Buddhism was introduced to Japan and many Chinese terms were incorporated into the Japanese vocabulary. The word 説明 was created by combining the Kanji 説 and 明, which were used to translate the Chinese term "shuoming". Since then, the word 説明 has been widely used in Japanese to refer to a clear and precise explanation of something.How to Write in Japanese - (説明) setsumei
