Where did the Japanese word originate Was it Chinese first and then into or just Japanese?

It's important to clarify your question. "Japanese word" is too broad. To accurately answer your question, you need to specify the Japanese word you're asking about.

Here's why:

* Japanese language has many sources: Japanese has been heavily influenced by Chinese, but also has native words and words from other languages like Korean and English.

* Words can have complex histories: A word might have originated in Chinese, but then evolved differently in Japanese. Some might have been borrowed directly, while others were adapted and changed.

To get a proper answer, please provide the specific Japanese word you're curious about.

For example, you could ask:

* "Where did the Japanese word 'sushi' originate?"

* "Did the Japanese word 'kawaii' come from Chinese?"

Once you provide the word, I can tell you its origin and how it came to be part of the Japanese language.
