"であります" meaning in Japanese

See であります in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Phrase

IPA: [de̞ a̠ɾʲima̠sɨ̥ᵝ]
Etymology: Comprised of で (de, 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb だ (copula)) + あり (ari, 連(れん)用(よう)形(けい) (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb ある (“to exist”)) + ます (masu, polite auxiliary). The plain form である (de aru) first appears in the Muromachi period, with this polite form であります (de arimasu) arising in the Edo period, first cited in 1800. This latter form was initially used by the women of red light districts. The sense later gained a more conversational tone through the influence of translations of Western works (Rangaku), and by the Meiji period, the phrasing spread to include use by government and the armed forces.

This latter form was initially used by the women of red light districts. The sense later gained a more conversational tone through the influence of translations of Western works (Rangaku), and by the Meiji period, the phrasing spread to include use by government and the armed forces.",
