Kanji 経 sutra, longitude, pass thru Related words 通常 is a general word for 'usual' or 'normal' in everyday contexts, while 経常 is a technical accounting/economic term for recurring items like income or expenditure.
恒常 means 'constant, unchanging' in a broad sense, while 経常 specifically labels ongoing financial items (e.g. 経常利益) as opposed to one-time ones.
Opposites 特別 means 'special, extraordinary' and is contrasted with 経常 in accounting (経常利益 vs. 特別利益).
臨時 means 'temporary, ad hoc' and is opposed to 経常 when distinguishing regular budget items from one-off ones (経常予算 vs. 臨時予算).
Etymology Compound of 経 (passage, ongoing) and 常 (usual, constant). The term was coined in modern Japanese for economic and accounting use, likely as a translation of Western concepts like 'ordinary' or 'current' in financial statements.
