Explanation and Etymology - (健康) kenkou
健康 (けんこう, Kenkou) is a Japanese word meaning "health" or "well-being". It consists of two Kanji: 健 (けん, ken), which means "health" or "strong", and 康 (こう, kou), which means "peace" or "tranquility". The word is often used in contexts related to medicine, nutrition and healthy lifestyle. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when Chinese medicine began to spread in Japan. The word was created from the combination of the Kanji 健 and 康, which were often used in Chinese medical texts to describe the ideal state of health. Since then, the word has become an important part of Japanese vocabulary and is often used in expressions such as 健康管理 (けんこうかんり, Kenkou kanri), which means "health management", and 健康診断 (けんこうしんだん, kekou shindan) , which means "health exam".How to Write in Japanese - (健康) kenkou
