"元気" meaning in Japanese

See 元気 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [ɡẽ̞ŋʲkʲi]
Etymology: From Middle Chinese compound 元氣 (MC ngjwon khj+jH, literally “first, fundamental, source + vapor, spirit, energy”). In Chinese cosmology, this represented the fundamental force that permeates all matter and life. Early Japanese borrowed this word and meaning. Later, this spelling was conflated with the meaning of homophone 減気 (genki, “recovery from illness”), adding in the modern senses related to healthy and wellness.
