Explanation and Etymology - (銃) tsutsu

銃 (じゅう) is a Japanese word meaning "firearm". The word is composed of the characters 銃, which means "weapon", and the suffix じゅう, which is a kun reading of the characters. The origin of the word dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when the firearms were introduced in Japan by the Portuguese. The word 銃 was borrowed from the ancient Chinese, where it was written as "Chong", which means "long spear." Over time, the meaning of the word evolved to refer to firearms specifically.
