Traducción y Significado de: 証明 - shoumei

Explicación y Etimología - (証明) shoumei

The Japanese word 証明 (shoumei) is composed of two kanjis: 証 (shou) which means "proof" or "evidence" and 明 (mei) which means "clarity" or "lighting". Together they form the meaning of "clear proof" or "clear evidence". The word is commonly used to refer to documents or information that proves the authenticity or truth of something. For example, a 証明書 (shoumeisho) is a certificate or document that proves the completion of a course or obtaining a license. The etymology of the word 証明 dates back to ancient Chinese, where the same kanjis were used with the same meaning. The word was later incorporated into the Japanese vocabulary during the Nara period (710-794), when Japan adopted many aspects of Chinese culture. Since then, the word has been widely used in the Japanese language.
