Explicación y Etimología - (発足) hassoku

The Japanese word "発足" consists of two kanjis: "発" which means "emerge" or "start" and "足" which means "foot" or "step". Together they form the meaning of "beginning" or "establishment." The etymology of the word dates back to the EDO period (1603-1868), when the Japanese government established a system of registration of people and properties called "発足帳" (Hassoku-Chou). This system was created to ensure public safety and tax collection. From there, the word "発足" was used to refer to the beginning or establishment of something, such as an organization, company or project. Currently, the word "発足" is widely used in Japan in various contexts, such as politics, business, sports and culture. For example, when a new government is formed, it is common to say that there was the "発足" of the new cabinet. When a company is founded, it is said that there was the "発足" of the company. When a soccer team is created, it is said that there was the "発足" of the team.
