The Name Origin2



Yesterday I explained that Samurai means "to obey".
But this is not a little exact.
This is difficult to translate in English, but "to serve" is possibly better than "to obey"...

Why? Because Samurai is stoic, he has a strong silent opinion of his own.
Some Samurais searched for their own strongness, some Samurais are loyal to their boss, Shogun.

Samurai is originally a person who serves, so called public officer.
