Explanation and Etymology - (本気) honki
本気 (Honki) is a Japanese word that can be translated as "seriousness", "sincerity" or "true intention". The word is composed by the Kanjis 本 (Hon), which means "base" or "foundation", and 気 (ki), which can be translated as "spirit" or "energy". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the word was written as "本機" (Honki), which meant "the true essence of something." Over time, writing was simplified to "本気" (Honki), but the meaning remained the same. The word is often used in contexts where someone is expected to be compromised or take something seriously, such as a relationship, work or sport. For example, "本気でやる" (Yaru Honki) means "doing something seriously" or "taking something seriously".How to Write in Japanese - (本気) honki
