Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 感觉 (gǎn jué) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 感 (gǎn) and 觉 (jué). The character 感 originally meant "to be moved" or "to be affected by something", and it is often used in the context of emotions or feelings. The character 觉 originally meant "to wake up" or "to become aware of something", and it is often used in the context of perception or consciousness. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 感觉, which means "feeling" or "sensation". This word can be used to describe both physical sensations, such as the feeling of pain or pleasure, and emotional feelings, such as the feeling of love or hate.
