Traducción y Significado de: 必死 - hishi

Explicación y Etimología - (必死) hishi

必死 (Hissu) is a Japanese word composed of two kanjis: 必 (Hitsu) which means "necessary" or "mandatory" and 死 (shi) which means "death". Together they form the word that can be translated as "desperate", "committed to the fullest" or "willing to die." The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the word was used to describe the determination of a warrior in battle, who was willing to fight to death. Over time, the meaning of the word has expanded to include any situation in which someone is willing to do anything to achieve a goal, even if it means putting their own life at risk. Nowadays, the word is often used in situations where someone is working hard or striving hard to achieve a goal, such as "he is working hard" or "she is studying hard." However, the original connotation of "willing to die" is still present in the word and can be used in more extreme situations, as in "he was so desperate to save his friend that he was willing to risk his own life."
