Explanation and Etymology - (息) iki

The word "息" is a Chinese ideogram that means "breath" or "breath". It is composed of two characters: the first, "心", which means "heart" or "mind", and the second, "自", which means "self" or "own". Together, they form the idea of "the breath that comes from the heart itself". The word is commonly used in contexts related to meditation, yoga, and other practices involving conscious breathing. The etymology of the word dates back to the Shang dynasty period (1600 BC - 1046 BC), when it was written with a different character, representing a man breathing. Over time, the writing evolved into the current form.
