What does the word 秀尽 mean?


My friend has been playing the Japanese video game called **Persona 5** and
there was the high school named 秀尽学園高校. I can't find the word 秀尽 (shujin)
anywhere. Does it mean something?




It's just another proper noun meaning nothing in particular. It's a
combination of random common kanji with nice meanings. 秀尽 is a combination
that probably had not existed before, and sounds realistic and natural enough
as a Japanese proper noun. That's what's needed for a fictional school name,
isn't it?

秀尽 is homophonic with 囚人 ("prisoner"), but I don't know if this was intended
by the author. I know prison is an important motif in _Persona 5_ , but
homophones are very common in Japanese. If I remember correctly, although some
students were "jailed" at the beginning of the game, I feel it's excessive to
link the entire school to a prison.
