About

The word "末日" is formed by directly combining two characters: "末" meaning "end" or "final", and "日" meaning "day". Together, they create the literal concept of "the final day" or "the last day". This concrete image is then used metaphorically to represent the abstract idea of an ultimate end or doom, specifically evoking the concept of doomsday or apocalypse, where time itself reaches its terminus.
