Explicación y Etimología - (本格) honkaku

本格 (ほんかく) It is a Japanese word composed of two kanjis: 本 (Hon) which means "real" or "genuine" and 格 (kaku) which means "standard" or "quality". Together, these kanjis form the word 本格 which can be translated as "authentic" or "genuine" about something that follows a high quality standard. The word is often used to describe something that is done according to established rules or traditions, such as a culinary style or a martial art. The complete etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185) in Japan, when the word "kaku" was used to refer to a social classification system based on hierarchical levels. Over time, the meaning of the word evolved to include the idea of ​​"standard" or "quality", and the word "Hon" was added to emphasize authenticity or genuineness.
