Tassha
Previously, I introduced you to the parting greeting phrase otassha de (お達者で), which is used for a person we won't see again for a long time.
Since tassha (達者) means that your body is strong, otasshade (お達者で - "being tassha") means "please be healthy."
However, the original meaning of tassha is different.
Ta/tatsu (達) means "to be enlightened" or "to be familiar with something," and sha (者) means "person."
In other words, the literal meaning of tassha is a person who is good at doing something.

達者
以前私は、長い間会わなくなる相手に対する別れの挨拶「お達者で」を紹介しました。
「達者」は「体が丈夫なこと」を意味するので、「お達者で」は「健康でいてください」ということを意味します。
しかし、本来「達者」は別のことを意味する言葉でした。
「達」は「悟る」や「物事に通じている」ことを意味し、「者」は「人」を意味します。
すなわち「達者」の文字どおりの意味は「物事に熟達している人」です。
