戸締り (Toboshi) is a Japanese word that means "closing the doors" or "locking the doors". It is composed of the characters 戸 (TO), which means "door", and 締り (boshi), which means "close" or "lock". The word is often used to refer to the act of locking the home or office before leaving as a security measure. The complete etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the houses were built with wooden sliding doors, which were locked with a wooden bar called "Toboshi". Over time, the term "Toboshi" was used to refer to the act of locking the door.
