【No. 2318】Ikkyo Ichidō (一挙一動 - One's Every Action)
Feb 25, 2024 23:50
Ikkyo Ichidō
The four-character idiom ikkyo ichidō (一挙一動) describes every single small action and behavior of a person.
・I/ichi (い/いち) means "one" or "single."
・Kyo (挙) means "action."
・Dō (動) means "movement."
Therefore, the literal meaning of ikkyo ichidō is "every single action and movement."
Incidentally, combining kyo and dō forms the idiom kyodō (挙動), which means behavior.
It can also be thought that the idiom ikkyo ichidō was formed by adding "一" (meaning "each" or "every single") to the front of each character of "挙動."

一挙一動
一つひとつの細かい動作や振る舞いのことを、「一挙一動」と言います。
「一」・・・ "one" または "single"
「挙」・・・ "action"
「動」・・・ "movement"
すなわち「一挙一動」の文字どおりの意味は "every single action and movement" となります。
「挙」と「動」を組み合わせると、動作や立ち振る舞いを表す「挙動」という熟語になります。
「一挙一動」という四字熟語は、「挙動」のそれぞれの漢字の前に、「ちょっとした」や「細かい」を意味する「一」がついてできたと考えることもできます。
