感動
かんどう · kandou · JLPT N3 · noun
being deeply moved
💓 感動 = feel + move: a feeling strong enough to move you
感 (kan) means feeling or sensing, and 動 (dou) means to move. Together they mean being moved by something. English uses the same idea: a moving film is one that stirs your feelings.
感 — heart 心 + 咸 (xián, phonetic)
A semantic-phonetic compound. The heart radical 心 at the bottom carries the meaning of feeling or emotion, while 咸 supplies the sound. Together 感 conveys being moved in the heart, hence 'to feel,' 'sense,' or 'be affected by' something.
