校閲

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 校閲 is read as こうえつ and functions as a noun or with する for checking and correcting facts, wording, or details in an existing text.
• Basic usage: The checked items can take を, and 校閲を終えた原稿 describes a manuscript after the review is complete.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Writing and checking
  • It is a review stage for an already written article or manuscript, including details such as numbers and proper nouns, rather than original composition.
• Action and completed state
  • 校閲した names the checking action, while 校閲を終えた marks the manuscript as having passed through that work.
