Web Wednesday - Another insightful article by the great folks at Tofugu. Give it a read and find the full meaning of the word "Sensei"! - https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/sensei/ 先生（せんせい）= TEACHER; MASTER; DOCTOR THE MEANING OF SENSEI: MORE THAN JUST "TEACHER" IMPRESS YOUR JUDO TEACHER SENSEI JEFF BY USING 先生 IN ALL THE RIGHT WAYS APRIL 16, 2019 • 3318 WORDS WRITTEN BY KANAE NAKAMINE • ART BY JEAN WEI Thanks to the popularity of sports like judo and karate, 先生 (せんせい) is a Japanese word people all over the world use in place of "teacher."

Many dictionaries suggest this is the original meaning of 先生, which makes sense when you look at the kanji. Back in the day, living longer meant (and still implies) having more experience and knowledge.
