The word "Min-do" first appeared in newspapers around 1888, but a clear etymology of the word has never appeared. This paper traces back the history of the word's formation and proposes the possibility that this word is a Japanese-created Chinese word influenced by Western thought. This paper also considers the reception of this word in China and researches its mutual relationship with "kokumin-teido (国民程度)" (the condeition of the people) in China during the first two decades of the 20th century.

The Kango (kanji-based) loanword “Eiei” was a word that, in the original Chinese, had a negative connotation and meant “continuously coming and going”. But when it was accepted into Japanese, it became a term with the positive connotation in its use chiefly as an adverb. At that time, it can be thought that the change in the usage and style from “Eiei to shite” to “Eiei to” also played a role. It can be thought that the meaning of “continually” that is generated in that meaning of the word was also behind such a semantic change. Moreover, it can be considered that, as a result of Eiei (営々) acquiring the meaning of “continually”, it became synonymous with its homonym, the “eiei” (永々) used from old, and, consequently, “eiei” (永々) became subsumed and absorbed into Eiei (営々), thus resulting in a substitution of those words.

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.
