The etymology of the word daishō becomes apparent when the terms daitō, meaning long sword, and shōtō, meaning short sword, are used; daitō + shōtō = daishō. A daishō is typically depicted as a katana and wakizashi mounted in matching koshirae but originally the daishō was the wearing of any long and short uchigatana together. The katana/wakizashi pairing is not the only daishō combination as generally any longer sword paired with a tantō is considered to be a daishō. Daishō eventually came to mean two swords having a matched set of fittings. A daishō could also have matching blades made by the same swordsmith, but this was in fact uncommon and not necessary for two swords to be considered to be a daishō, as it would have been more expensive for a samurai.

- thumb|right|200 px|Daishō El daishō (大小, lit. "grande y pequeña") son las armas tradicionales del samurai, compuestas de la katana y el wakizashi. La etimología de esta palabra queda más clara cuando se usan los términos daitō (espada grande) y shoto (espada pequeña) ; daitō + shoto = daishō. La katana era usada en el campo de batalla y para la mayoría de los propósitos, arma que podía ser llevada únicamente por los samurais, mientras que el wakizashi era considerada un arma de cuerpo a cuerpo y de menor "rango", ya que podía ser llevada por cualquier ciudadano.
