Consisting of four chapters, this paper discusses the development of the phonetic term hassō (発想). The first chapter traces the root of the term and reveals that it was initially used as a musicological term. It can be found in classical Chinese to intend "to think a way for a purpose". However, it is difficult to find similarity between the original meaning of hassō in Chinese and that in Japanese. For another thing, the paper traces the changing process of hassō in which this initially musicological term was transformed into the literary term, promoted by writers in the end stage of Meiji era; such as Iwano Hōmei (岩野泡鳴). Moreover, the paper analyses the transition of its meaning from "representation" to "idea", then to "way of thinking". In the final chapter, the actual utilization of hassō in Meiji Japanese and modern Chinese is observed. Furthermore, the transmission and adaptation of the vocabulary is evaluated through this particular term.
