About

The word 凶器 is formed by combining two characters: 凶, which carries the meaning of violence, murder, or something ominous and fierce; and 器, which means a tool, utensil, or instrument. The concept is created by directly applying the descriptive quality of the first character to the object of the second, yielding the composite meaning of "a tool or instrument of violence", specifically a weapon used for a harmful or criminal purpose.
