About

The word 法律 is formed by combining the character 法, which denotes "law" or "rule" with connotations of fairness, and 律, which means "statute" or "regulation" originating from standards set by musical pitch pipes. Together, they create a compound where both characters reinforce the concept of legal statutes, resulting in the modern meaning of "law" as in a system of rules.
