Etymology
[edit]From Literary Chinese 合眾國 (hézhòngguó), from 合 (“union”) + 眾國 (“democratic state”), which is a calque of English United States, probably coined by Elijah Coleman Bridgman before 1844.[1] Soon rebracketed as 合衆 (gasshū, “assembly of people”) and 国 (koku, “state”).
Pronunciation

- 1905, 丘浅次郎, 人類の生存競争[1], 青空文庫:
- また世の文明が進めば、今日おのおの独立している国々はすべて連邦となり、全世界を統一した一大合衆国ができて国と国との争いはなしにすむようになると論ずる人もある。
- Mata yo no bunmei ga susumeba, konnichi onoono dokuritsu shite iru kuniguni wa subete renpō to nari, zensekai o tōitsu shita ichidai gasshūkoku ga dekite kuni to kuni to no arasoi wa nashi ni sumu yō ni naru to ronzuru hito mo aru.
- In addition, some people argue that if world civilization advances, the countries that today are each independent will all become a union, and one large federal state unifying the whole world will arise, and there will no longer be any conflicts between nations.
- また世の文明が進めば、今日おのおの独立している国々はすべて連邦となり、全世界を統一した一大合衆国ができて国と国との争いはなしにすむようになると論ずる人もある。
