About

The word 匿名 is formed by combining two characters: 匿, meaning "to hide" or "conceal", and 名, meaning "name". It is a direct conceptual compound where the first character describes the action performed upon the object denoted by the second character. Thus, the term literally means "to hide the name", creating the single, unified concept of "anonymous" or "anonymity".
