"空想" meaning in Japanese

See 空想 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [kɯ̟ᵝːso̞ː] Forms: 空想 [canonical] (ruby: (くう), (そう)), kūsō [romanization], kuusau [romanization], くうさう [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: Ultimately from Middle Chinese 空想 (kʰuŋ sɨɐŋ^X, literally “fictional, fabricated + think, thought”). The sense of fantasy is first cited in Japanese to 1886, and probably reflects a Rangaku and Meiji era style of repurposing older terminology to translate unfamiliar Western concepts. The Buddhist sense is older, and was borrowed into Japanese along with various Chinese Buddhist texts. This term is included in the 摩訶止観 (Maka Shikan), better known in English by its Chinese pronunciation, the Mohe Zhiguan, completed some time in the early 600s.
