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."
