The word Arigatou came from the word "Arigatai".
It is a word originally used to express a feeling of gratitude to a person who has done something for you.
The word "Doumo" originated from the word "Doumo ie nu" (literally translates to "I don't know what to say") during the Edo period.
It is used in greetings and to express deep gratitude or apology. (Emphasis)
Examples include: "Doumo Arigatou Gozaimasu" (Thank you very much) or"Doumo Moushiwake arimasen deshita" (I am very sorry).
Conversely, it is used when expressing a light-hearted greeting or gratitude.
Examples include: "Yaa, Doumo" (Oh, Hi there) or "Doumo Itsumo sumimasen ne" (Thank you as always).
Japanese people use these same words selectively in contradicting scenarios.
