The Chinese word **惬意 (qièyì)**, meaning "contented," "pleasantly satisfied," or "leisurely comfortable," is a compound formed through semantic combination. It is composed of the character **惬 (qiè)**, which itself carries the core meaning of being satisfied or content at heart, and the character **意 (yì)**, which signifies "mind," "mood," "intention," or "feeling." Therefore, the term literally and figuratively combines to express a state where one's **heart/mood (意)** is in a condition of **contentment (惬)**, resulting in the holistic sense of relaxed and deep satisfaction.
