Comments: | There's an interesting assertion here that 傑士/傑人/人傑/英傑/俊傑 are all mostly interchangeable (and all [form], though 傑士 is [rare] even among them). https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/thsrs/4704/meaning/m0u/ 傑物/傑士/傑人/人傑/英傑/俊傑 の使い分け 1「傑物」以外は文章語で、意味に大差はない。 2「傑物」は、一般の人の基準では推し量れない型破りの人物に対する驚嘆の念を伴っていうこともある。 Looking at reverso, the most-likely-to-be-glossed as "hero" among all of these is 英傑, and we've already made "hero" the second gloss there: 英傑: great person; hero; mastermind; extraordinary person So, minimally, I think moving "hero" to the second position here is reasonable. It seems like "hero" only applies here in the limited sense that it is a synonym for "a great man". I don't think it would be a loss to drop "hero" entirely on this term, and a number of the related terms(傑人, 人傑, probably 俊傑 ), as it seems more misleading than whatever value it contributes as a potential gloss. |
