Written forms 是ぜ 非ひ とも
Standard kanji spelling; the most common written form.
是ぜ 非ひ 共とも
Less common variant using 共 instead of とも; seen in older or more formal writing.
Etymology Combination of 是非 (zehi, 'right and wrong; by all means') and the emphatic particle とも (tomo). The とも adds a sense of 'even if it means...' or 'no matter what', strengthening the adverbial meaning.
