The origin of ありがとう(arigatou) is 有難い(arigatai) meaning being very rare to be. 有 existing and 難い difficult so it is difficult to exist = rare. The idea is more close to not taking act of kindness for granted and acknowledging it. Acknowledging kindness turn into a expression of thankfulness. There are ways to appreciate by apologizing in Japanese but ありがとう is not that linked to being sorry.

I’ve never seen arigatou spelled with kanji, so I didn’t recognize that.

Yeah, 有り難う("arigatou", thank you) comes from 有る("aru", to exist/to be) + 難し("katashi", hard/difficult) which means "difficult to exist" or "hard to be". It also came from 有り難し/有り難い("arigatashi/arigatai", welcome/thankful/greatful). Also, it became the descendant for the Hakka Chinese word 阿里加多("alikato"). Also, be aware that the Portuguese word "obrigado"(thank you) is purely coincidental, since the Portuguese arrived in Japan in 1543 which is over a century after the meaning "to be thankful" was cited.

The literal meaning of "arigato" kind of reminds me of the literal meaning of "obrigado" (in Portuguese), which also means "thank you" but literally means "I'm obligated to"

arigatou (ありがとう) is short from 有難うございます, which is 有り (ari) + 難い (katai, difficult to ...) + ございます. The u-onbin (う音便) of i-keiyoushi (イ形容詞, i-adj) + ございます is the polite form used before WW2 in Japan.

On the other hand, 🇵🇹obrigado means obliged.

I was surprised when I learned the definition of this kanji too, but it was super easy to remember and understand when someone used the example of a samurai using it to his lord after being praised for something.

it's like Chinese's 辛苦了 roughly: 你來得早,辛苦你

I think a better literal translation of arigatou is "hard to exist" and the intended meaning is that acts of kindness are rather rare so you express your appreciation for that act of kindness.

It’s funny that I heard Japanese actually do use a form of “sorry” (すみません) to mean “thank you” for petty things in daily speech

"Thank You" == "Apologies that I'm breathing" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 [Edit: Yes, I saw the other comment about the actual etymology of arigatai.]

At first I was baffled by the meaning of 有難 but when you said an apology for causing you trouble, it makes sense, because in Chinese there's another way to say thank you similar to this meaning 麻煩你了 literally meaning "it has troubled you", it's usually used when someone has taken the obligation to help you and you say that, with or without the classic "thank you" 謝謝, but 有難 means more of someone in need of help because he/she is "in trouble" or "having a rough time".
