What is the original phrase for thank you in Japanese because I've known that the phrase Arigatou came from Obrigado in Portuguese?

The word arigato comes from arigatō gozaimasu,which means thank you (so is a shortening, like our English "thanks") and has no relationship with the Portuguese word. The similarity is coincidental just as Malay dua "two" sounds cognate with English (of Latin origin) "dual" meaning "two" but is not: like the Japanese word it was in use long before contact with Europeans.
