渾身

• 読み: こんしん
• ローマ字: konshin
• 漢字の分解: 渾 (kon) — whole, entire; 身 (shin/mi) — body, self
• 発音: /ko.ɲ.ɕiɴ/

意味

With all one's might; one's whole body and soul; every ounce of one's strength.

A noun used almost exclusively in the phrase 渾身の〜 (one's whole-being ~), indicating that something embodies the speaker's or creator's total effort and energy. Particularly common in arts, sports, and personal achievement contexts. The intensity is absolute — it cannot be qualified with words like 'somewhat'.

例文

1. 渾身の力を込めて、彼は最後の一球を投げ込んだ。
2. これが私の渾身の作です、どうぞご覧ください。
3. 渾身の演技で観客を圧倒した俳優に、割れんばかりの拍手が送られた。

起源と歴史

From 渾 (kon, whole/all) and 身 (shin/mi, body/self). 渾 is a less common character meaning 'entire' or 'undivided,' emphasising totality. The compound has Chinese origins and was adopted into Japanese for its expressive force.
