【No. 1355】Fusessei (不摂生 - Intemperance)

Fusessei

These days I have lived a lifestyle called fusessei (不摂生).

Fu (不) is a negative word, and sessei (摂生) means to be careful of your health so as not to fall sick.

Therefore, fusessei means that you are not careful of your health or you do something harmful to your health.

If you fall sick as a result of fusessei, it can be expressed as fusessei ga tataru (不摂生がたたる) by using the verb tataru (たたる).

Originally, tataru means that the gods, Buddha, or ghosts bring harm, but it can also mean that something occurs a bad result.
不摂生

最近私は「不摂生」な生活を送っています。

「不」は否定を意味する語、「摂生」は病気にならないよう健康に気をつけることを意味します。

つまり「不摂生」とは、健康に気をつけないことや、健康に悪いことをすることを意味する言葉です。

不摂生の結果、実際に病気などになってしまった場合、「たたる」という動詞を使って「不摂生がたたる」のように言うことが多いです。

「たたる」は本来、神仏や怨霊などが災いをすることを意味しますが、転じて何かが原因で悪い結果が生じることも意味します。
