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
- growth as the days pass
- physical recovery day by day from an illness or after childbirth
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".
