Translation and Meaning of: シャワー - syawa-
A palavra 「シャワー」 (syawa-) em japonês se refere ao termo "chuveiro". Sua origem pode ser rastreada até o inglês "shower", que significa literalmente um tipo de banho de água que é pulverizada. Esse empréstimo linguístico é um exemplo de como o japonês incorporou palavras de outras línguas, especialmente do inglês, após a era Meiji (1868-1912), quando o Japão começou a abrir-se para influências ocidentais. A adaptação fonética resultou na maneira como os japoneses pronunciam "shower".
