| Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary | The title by which the shogun, or former commander in chief of the Japanese army, was known to foreigners. | t[-i]`k[=oo]n" |n.|[Chinese tai-kun great prince.] |
| 「dc」 | A wealthy and powerful businessperson or industrialist; a magnate.Used formerly as a title for a Japanese shogun. | n.[Japanese taikun, title of a shogun, of Chinese origin.] |
| Word History from 「dc」 Business tycoons may consider themselves captains or even princes of industry, but by virtue of being called tycoons, they have already achieved princely status, at least from an etymological point of view. Tycoon came into English from Japanese, which had borrowed the title,meaning "great prince", from Chinese. Use of the word was intended to make the shogun, the commander in chief of the Japanese army, more impressive to foreigners (his official title shgun merely meant "general"). In fact, the shogun actually ruled Japan, although he was supposedly acting for the emperor. When Matthew C. Perry opened Japan to the West in 1854, he negotiated with the shogun, thinking him to be the emperor. The shogun's title, taikun, was brought back to the United States after Perry's visit. Abraham Lincoln's cabinet members used tycoon as an affectionate nickname for the President. The word soon came to be used for business and industry leadersperhaps at times for those who had as much right to such an impressive title as did the shogun. The word itself now has an old-fashioned sound, but when we encounter it, we should think back to the days of Commodore Perry and President Lincoln, both of whom were real tycoons in their own ways. |
