Explanation and Etymology - (超す) kosu
The Japanese word "超す" (kōsu) is made up of two kanjis: "超" (kō) which means "overtake" or "exceed" and "す" (SU) which is an auxiliary verb that indicates the action of doing something. Therefore, "超す" can be translated as "overcome something" or "exceed something". It is a word commonly used in sports or competitive contexts when it is meant that someone has surpassed a record or previous mark. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the verb "超す" was written with the kanji "越す" (kossu), which also means "overcoming". Over time, Kanji "超" has been used instead of "越" to express the idea of "overcoming" more emphatically and intensely. Nowadays, "超す" is a very common word in the Japanese language and can be found in various contexts, from informal conversations to formal texts.How to Write in Japanese - (超す) kosu
