YEN Meaning and
Definition
-
Yen, as a noun, refers to a unit of Japanese currency, often symbolized by "¥". It is the monetary unit used in Japan, similar to the concept of a dollar in the United States or a euro in Europe. The yen is the official currency of Japan and is issued and regulated by the Bank of Japan. It is subdivided into smaller denominations, such as 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 yen coins, as well as 1000, 2000, 5000, and 10,000 yen banknotes.
The yen can also be used to refer to a strong desire or craving for something, particularly when used in the phrase "to have a yen for." This secondary meaning is often used informally and expresses a longing or yearning for a specific activity, object, or experience. For instance, one might say, "Jane has a yen for adventure" to convey that Jane has a strong desire to seek out exciting and thrilling experiences.
Furthermore, "yen" can be used as a verb meaning to have a strong desire or longing for something. This usage is less common and generally found in older or more formal contexts. For example, one could say, "He yens for the days of his youth," suggesting that the person strongly desires or yearns for the past.

Etymology of YEN
The word "yen" has its origins in Japanese. It comes from the Japanese word "en" (円), which refers to the unit of currency in Japan.
