Explanation and Etymology - (過労) karou
過労 It is a Japanese word composed of two kanjis: 過 (ka) which means "excess" or "overcoming" and 労 (rou) which means "work" or "effort". Together they form the term 過労 (Karou) which means "overwork" or "work overload". This word is often used in Japan to describe the condition of workers who are overloaded due to long working hours, lack of proper rest and excessive pressure in the workplace. The word gained prominence in Japanese society due to the high rates of over -work deaths, known as Karoshi. The word 過労 has its origin in the Chinese language, where the same kanjis are used to form the word guçao. The word was introduced in Japan during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and has since been used to describe the condition of overloaded workers.How to Write in Japanese - (過労) karou
