正確
せいかく · seikaku · JLPT N3 · na-adj
accurate
🎯 正確 = correct + certain: correct and certain means exact
正 means right or correct, and 確 means sure or firm. Watch out: seikaku is also 性格, personality. An exact person can have a precise personality, but only 正確 means accurate.
正 — one 一 + stop 止
Originally an ideograph showing a foot (止) advancing toward a target line (一), meaning 'to march straight toward' a city or goal. From this came the senses 'upright,' 'correct,' and 'proper.' The military sense survives in 征 (to campaign), which took over the original 'march' meaning.
