Etymology
Sino-Vietnamese word from 哲學, composed of 哲 (“wisdom”) and 學 (“study”), from Japanese 哲学 (tetsugaku), contracted from earlier 希哲學 (hirosohi), from Dutch filosofie, coined by Nishi Amane, with the kanji spelling literally calqued from Ancient Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophía, “pursuit of wisdom”, literally “love of knowledge”), apparently from the Chinese morphemes 希 (xī, “to long for”) and 哲 (zhé, “wisdom”). Nishi later used the transcriptions ヒロソヒ, ヒロソヒー (hirosohī) and 斐鹵蘇比, before settling with 哲學 (modernly spelt 哲学).[1]
