Samurai were the members of the ruling/military class during the feudal periods of Japanese History. The word samurai means "to serve", in reference to the principal value of their code of conduct, Bushido, which was loyalty. A samurai's existence had a single purpose, to live and die in the service of his lord.
Samurai, also known as Bushido, was the later name of the warrior in the Bushi code. Bushi means warrior and Bushido means the way of the warrior then later Bushido was replaced with Samurai however you do not pronounce it Samuraido just Samurai. Samurai means the way of the warrior in Japanese.
