Etymology 1
| Kanji in this term | |
|---|---|
| 風 | 情 |
| ふ Grade: 2 |
せい > ぜい Grade: 5 |
| on’yomi | |
Probably from Middle Chinese compound 風情 (MC pɨuŋ d͡ziᴇŋ). Compare modern Chinese 風情／风情 (fēngqíng).
The reading uses the older goon of fu for 風 and the newer kan'on of sei for 情, suggesting either that this term underwent changes after importation into Japanese, or that it may have been re-imported.
