English Explanation

The noun '原因' (gen'in) means 'cause', 'origin', or 'source'. It is the antonym of '結果' (result) and refers to the underlying factor or event that directly triggered an outcome, often used when diagnosing problems, failures, or accidents (e.g., '事故の原因' - the cause of the accident).
