The characters 充 (chōng, "fill") and 沛 (pèi, "abundant") combine the ideas of being filled and richly supplied, which explains the word's use for both vigor and plentiful resources.

Usage tips

  • For a person's temporary alertness and drive, this adjective describes available energy rather than happiness, confidence, or good health, so it does not automatically express those ideas.
