This is a discussion about ワクチン

ワクチン語源

Happy New Year / Happy 丑年 Jisho users. Did you know that while the word ワクチン derives from the German word vakzin. The etymology of the word vaccine is as follows: late 18th century: from Latin vaccinus, from vacca ‘cow’ (because of the early use of the cowpox virus against smallpox).. With 2021 being the year of the cow, it can be said in a roundabout way, that 2021 is also the year of the vaccine.
