About

The word 同事 is formed by combining the character 同, meaning "same" or "together", with the character 事, meaning "matter", "affair", or "work". It conceptually paints a picture of individuals who are united or brought together by the same tasks, duties, or professional endeavors. The formation directly implies a relationship defined by a shared engagement in work, moving from the abstract idea of "togetherness in matters" to the specific social role of a "colleague".
