Rōnin
A 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Rōnin, Japanese warrior )〕 was a samurai with no lord or master during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless from the death or fall of his master, or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege.〔Barry Till, ("The 47 Ronin: A Story of Samurai Loyalty and Courage" ), 2005, pg. 11〕
In modern Japanese usage, the term also describes a salaryman who is "between employers" or a secondary school graduate who has not yet been admitted to university.〔Akihiko Yonekawa. Beyond Polite Japanese. page 25. Kodansha 2001. ISBN 4-7700-2773-7〕〔浪人 at Japanese-English dictionaries: (プログレッシブ和英中辞典 ) or (ニューセンチュリー和英辞典 )〕
==Etymology==
The word ''rōnin'' literally means "wave man". It is an idiomatic expression for "vagrant" or "wandering man", someone who is without a home. The term originated in the Nara and Heian periods, when it referred to a serf who had fled or deserted his master's land. It then came to be used for a samurai who had no master. (Hence, the term "wave man" illustrating one who is socially adrift.)
The Kanji "浪人" means a "drifter" or a "wanderer", i.e. "he who drifts/wanders".
