The word was first originated from ancient China; although nowadays it's more often used in Buddhism, in fact it first appeared in the Taoism classic - Zhuang Zi. It's original meaning is "very hard and frequent walking/practice". Philosopher Zhuangzi abstracted and modified this word from an earlier classic of Taoism - Laozi's Tao Te Ching, in which it states:“上士闻道，勤而行之。”, which means taking effort and practicing.

abstract
  • The word was first originated from ancient China; although nowadays it's more often used in Buddhism, in fact it first appeared in the Taoism classic - Zhuang Zi. It's original meaning is "very hard and frequent walking/practice". Philosopher Zhuangzi abstracted and modified this word from an earlier classic of Taoism - Laozi's Tao Te Ching, in which it states:“上士闻道，勤而行之。”, which means taking effort and practicing. Later during especially Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Buddhism philosophy developed dramatically in central China, and was influenced by Taoism thinkings. Chinese Buddhist philosophers borrowed this word from Taoism classics, and it spread to Korean, Japan, Vietnam with Buddhism.
