This paper traces back the history of the word's formation and proposes the possibility that this word is a Japanese-created Chinese word influenced by Western thought. This paper also considers the reception of this word in China and researches its mutual relationship with "kokumin-teido (国民程度)" (the condeition of the people) in China during the first two decades of the 20th century.}, pages = {279--296}, title = {「民度」: 和製漢語としての可能性}, volume = {45}, year = {2012} }
