JLPT1 G13 S0 F2098

As per 委# (hang low) + 人 person → short person/*dwarf* (viewed as hanging low; compare 矮). *Yamato* (ancient Japan) derives from the Chinese use of 倭 to refer to Japan or the Japanese. Afterwards, the Japanese replaced 倭 with 和, a homonym (in Japanese, though not in Chinese) with more positive associations. Other pejorative names for countries and their residents that involve shortness include 魏 and 夷.
