偉人(いじん) | great ★☆☆☆☆ 偉 (high-powered, prestigious) + 人 (person) = 偉人 (great) . . .in the sense of 'historically great', 'history-making', 'most famous', rather than the sense of 'nice' or 'wonderful.' (Recall Louis Farrakhan's wonderful non-apology for calling Hitler a 'wickedly great man': "Hey, White people! You're the ones who forced me to learn your language, and now I speak it better than you! You can't even be bothered to open a dictionary and learn your own language, so who are you to judge me?"
