Explicación y Etimología - (準じる) jyunjiru

準じる (Junjiru) is a Japanese verb that means "to conform to", "adjust to" or "be in agreement". The word is composed of the characters 準 (jun), which means "standard" or "criterion", and じる (jiru), which is a verbal suffix that indicates "do" or "act according to". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the term 準 (jun) was used to refer to a standard or measure to evaluate the quality or performance of something. Over time, the term has been used in broader contexts, as in expression 準則 (Junso), which means "principle" or "general rule". The verbal suffix じる (jiru) is derived from the verb 助ける (Tasukeru), which means "help" or "support". However, over time, the suffix has been used to indicate the idea of ​​"acting according to" or "conforming to". Together, 準じる (junjiru) is used to indicate that something is in accordance with an established standard or criterion, or that someone is acting in accordance with a rule or principle. The word is commonly used in formal contexts, such as legal documents or government regulations.
