Etymology

[edit]

+‎ (official; mandarin; courtier). is a rather non-specific Chinese word, used of government positions as low as "warden" and as high as "marshal" (see 廷尉 (tíngwèi), 縣尉县尉 (xiànwèi), 太尉 (tàiwèi), 都尉 (dūwèi), 校尉 (jiàowèi)). In Japan, however, likely comes from the old kanji spellings used in titles in the military or guard under the 律令 (Ritsuryō) system, particularly the third-in-command of the 兵衛府 (Hyōefu) or the 衛門府 (Emonfu), although it was read as じょう () instead, and it was merely a specialized spelling of 判官 ().
