Explanation and Etymology - (契機) keiki
Keiki is a Japanese word composed of two Kanji: 契 (kei) and 機 (ki). Kei means "contract" or "promise", while ki means "opportunity" or "propitious moment". Together, they form the meaning of "opportunity that arises from an agreement or promise". The word is commonly used to refer to an event or circumstance that leads to a significant change or a new direction in someone's life. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when it was used to refer to a formal agreement between feudal lords. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include any type of agreement or promise, and later, to refer to an opportunity that arises from these agreements.How to Write in Japanese - (契機) keiki
