    Hi,
    The Term samurai originally meant "those who serve in close attendance to nobility", and was written in the Chinese character (or kanji) that had the same meaning. In Japanese, it was originally pronounced in the pre-Heian period as saburau and later as saburai, then samurai in the Edo period. In Japanese literature, there is an early reference to samurai in the Kokinshū (古今集, early 10th century):
    Attendant to your nobility

    Ask for your master's umbrella
    The dews 'neath the trees of Miyagino
    Are thicker than rain.
    Thanks
