I'm too lazy to type it all for myself. So here a Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai


In Japanese, they are usually referred to as bushi (武士?, [bu.ɕi]) or buke (武家?). According to translator William Scott Wilson:
"In Chinese, the character 侍 was originally a verb meaning "to wait
upon" or "accompany persons" 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. According to Wilson, an early reference to the word "samurai" appears in the Kokin Wakashū (905–914), the first imperial anthology of poems, completed in the first part of the 10th century.[1]



By the end of the 12th century, samurai became almost entirely synonymous with bushi,
and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons
of the warrior class. The samurai were usually associated with a clan and their lord, were trained as officers in military tactics and grand strategy, and they followed a set of rules that later came to be known as the bushidō. While the samurai numbered less than 10% of then Japan's population,[2] their teachings can still be found today in both everyday life and in modern Japanese martial arts.
