Etymology 1
連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of verb 日立つ (hidatsu), itself a compound of 日 (hi, “sun, day”) + 立つ (tatsu, “stand; pass (as in time); depart, go away”). The tatsu changes to datsu as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
Possible cognate with Korean 해돋이 (haedoji, “sunrise”), a compound of 해 (hae, “sun”) + 돋다 (dotda, “rise; grow”).
Sometimes spelled 肥立, replacing 日 (hi, “day”, a 訓読み (kun'yomi, “native Japanese reading”)) with 肥 (hi, “manure”, a 音読み (on'yomi, “Sino-Japanese reading”)).
Pronunciation
Noun
日立 • (hidachi)

Usage notes
The alternative forms 肥立ち and 肥立 are generally reserved for the latter sense of physical recovery, possibly from the sense of "manure going away" leading to "feeling better".
