About

The word "当事人" is formed by combining the character 当, which conveys "to undertake" or "be involved", with 事, meaning "matter" or "affair", and 人, meaning "person"; this sequence directly yields the literal meaning of "the person involved in the matter", specifically denoting parties in a legal or formal context.
