Explanation and Etymology - (精々) seizei
精々 (せいぜい) is a Japanese word that can be translated as "maximum", "the more you can do", "just". The word is composed by the Kanji 精 (I know) which means "spirit", "soul", "energy" and 々 (repetition of the previous kanji) that indicates repetition, and can be read as "zei". The origin of the word goes back to the Heian period (794-1185), when it was written as "専々" and meant "only", "exclusively". Over time, writing was changed to "精々" and the meaning came to be closer to the current one.
