Kanji in this term
風 情
ふ
Grade: 2 		せい > ぜい

on'yomi

Probably from Middle Chinese compound 風情 (MC pjuwng dzjeng). Compare modern Chinese 風情／风情 (fēngqíng).

The reading uses the older goon of fu for 風 and the newer kan'on of sei for 情, suggesting either that this term underwent changes after importation into Japanese, or that it may have been re-imported.
