Word origin
成立 (seiritsu) is a Sino-Japanese word combining 成 (sei, "become") and 立 (ritsu, "stand"), expressing the idea of something coming into an established state.
Usage tips
- In everyday Japanese, 成立 (seiritsu) applies both to things being formed, such as teams, and to agreements being reached, so its English translation depends on the subject.
