心情 (xīn qíng)
mood
情感 (qíng gǎn)
emotion
The Chinese word 情绪 (qíngxù) for "emotion" is composed of two characters: 情 (qíng) and 绪 (xù). 情 originally meant "feeling" or "sentiment", and was often used in classical Chinese literature to describe the emotional state of a person. 绪, on the other hand, originally meant "thread" or "clue", and was often used to describe the development or progression of something. When combined, 情绪 (qíngxù) took on the meaning of "emotional state" or "mood", encompassing both the subjective feelings of a person and the objective changes that occur as a result of those feelings. Over time, the word has come to be used in a wide variety of contexts, including psychology, sociology, and everyday conversation, to refer to the full range of human emotions and their expression.
