According to the translator William Scott Wilson:"In Chinese, the character 侍 was originally a verb meaning to wait upon or accompany a person in the upper ranks of society, and this is also true of the original term in Japanese, saburau. In both countries the terms were nominalized to mean "those who serve in close attendance to the nobility, the pronunciation in Japanese changing to saburai."

Samurai are a hereditary military class of feudal Japan. Hereditary means the position (essentially a caste") was passed on from father to sons. Yje samurai subscribed to a strict code of behaviour. They would be the vassals of lord essentially under contract to him to fight battles for him and protect him. A samurai would be trained in militaty skills and the use of the sword (the soul of the samurai). Philosophically they tended to be Zen Buddhists as that sect advocates instanataneous appreciation of the situations that arise and a spedy and full commitment to the actions to respons to those situations.

Samurai, also known as Bushido, was the later name of the warrior in the Bushi code. Bushi means warrior and Bushido means the way of the warrior then later Bushido was replaced with Samurai however you do not pronounce it Samuraido just Samurai. Samurai means the way of the warrior in Japanese.
